NORTON, Mass. There was no other way to explain it, Jordan Spieth was grumpy.Although the world No. 2 could probably point to any number of more quantifiable reasons for his opening-round 72 at the Dell Technologies Championship, like those 30 putts he took, he figured Friday was nothing more than a bad day at the office.I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday. I woke up and got out here, and I was cranky. I don't know. I guess we all just kind of have days like that, Spieth said.The good news for Spieth is Round 2 went much better, with the 24-year-old moving into a tie for 10th place with a second-round 65.

To be within four shots [of the lead] after yesterday's round is a tremendous accomplishment in its own, Spieth said.Spieth got off to a solid start with back-to-back birdies to begin his day and turned in 4 under par, before closing with back-to-back birdies.Although he said his putting is still not where hed like it to be, Spieth said his ball-striking allowed him to score on Saturday and move back into contention for the second consecutive week following his playoff loss to Dustin Johnson in New York.
But it was also a statement made from the man himself, even after Spieth fired a second-round 66 on Friday. The score put him at -5 for the tournament and elevated him square into contention during a year that has yet to see him post a top-20 finish.
