There was nothing ho-hum about Jordan Spieth's opening round of 2-under 70 at the 2025 Players Championship. Well, except if you put it into the context of Spieth's entire career. The three-time major champion hit for the cycle Thursday at TPC Sawgrass, and in the process, shot his way into contention in the PGA Tour's flagship event.

By the time he played six holes of the opening round, he already had an eagle, birdie, par, bogey and a double bogey on his card. Wild cheers when he holed a bunker shot. Groans when he pulled a tee shot into the water.
