Scott, who finished third at last year’s P.G.A., had a sparkling round of 64 on Friday. “But it’s been working.”Scott, who had seven birdies and just one bogey, began his round by sinking a twisting 25-foot birdie putt on the first hole. He followed that by making a 38-foot birdie putt on the second hole and also converted a 28-foot birdie attempt on the third. Spieth got up and down from four greenside bunkers and in one stretch needed only one putt on six successive greens. “That has made a big difference; it seems like an easy thing, but when that gets off, golf is pretty difficult,” Spieth said.
