BMW Championship: Adam Scott can’t recall his last lead, Scottie Scheffler projected to regain FedEx Cup lead among 5 Things we learned in Round 2

Jordan Spieth was tied for the lead and had a bogey-free round going until he failed to get up and down from behind the green, missing a 12-foot par putt. Still, he’s well positioned to make a run for his second Tour title of the year. (He won the RBC Heritage in April.)

“I feel like I’m doing everything good, nothing spectacular, but I feel like in every facet of my game, it’s trending and improving, and I know what to do to get it better and better,” he said. “Certainly feels really good.”

Spieth blamed missing the cut at the FedEx St. Jude Championship on rust after taking time off after the British Open. When he was ready to dust off the clubs he discovered that all the courses that he typically plays and practices at in Dallas were closed to punch and sand the greens.

“I didn’t know that until I got back home. We went out of town,” Spieth said. “So I tried to work a little with my coach, then I went to Nashville to play some with Justin, and I’m like, ‘Man, it’s not great right now but I’ll try and figure it out.’ ”

It turned out swing coach Cameron McCormick had some family in town and wasn’t available to work with him either. But Spieth made the most of his missed cut, flying in early to play Pine Valley on Sunday with caddie Michael Greller, agent Jay Danzi and Pine Valley member Michael McDermott, who has won the prestigious Crump Cup at the famed course multiple times. Playing in the group ahead of them? World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

“Michael almost accidentally hit him a few times,” Spieth said. “But yeah, that was a fun round. But my progress really started, I think, on Monday.”
