PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Jordan Spieth threw a club on Saturday in frustration but to hear him tell it, it was a non-throw. “I didn't mean to. I meant to hold on to it,” said Spieth who shot 73 in the third round. “That's why it went so low and into the ground, and I feel bad I tried to step on the turf and it wasn't a good move.”

Spieth has always been golf’s great shot of tequila, playing a different sport from his peers inside the finest of margins.
