2023 Valspar Championship leaderboard: Jordan Spieth one back of lead after wild putting day
CBSN
Spieth has the flat stick going; and if he gets hot, watch out
A three-way tie emerged after the first 18 holes of the 2023 Valspar Championship as Stephan Jaeger, Ryan Brehm and Adam Schenk all sit on top at 5 under. While each is a nice player, the group has a few legitimate problems piling up behind them. Namely the fact that some of the best golfers in the world are on their heels.
Jordan Spieth, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Thomas and Sam Burns are all within three strokes of the lead. That trio all shot 2 under or better at Innisbrook on Thursday, and all four of them are looking for their first wins of 2023. Spieth was particularly strong with his putter to sit one back of the leading group entering second-round action on Friday.
Let's take a look at how the first round of the Valspar played out with a leaderboard breakdown after 18 holes.
