(Reuters) - Local favourite Jordan Spieth, who showed a return to form at last week's PGA Championship, birdied his final hole to sit one shot back of first-round leader Tony Finau at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas on Thursday. Spieth, who won at Colonial in 2016 and finished runner-up the following year, showcased his deft touch on the greens where he had no misses from within 10 feet. Spieth, who started on the back nine, missed the green at his fourth hole, the par-three 13th, but chipped in from 25 yards for birdie. He made a trio of birdies from the 15th hole before a double-bogey at 18 where his second shot found water. Three-times major champion Spieth roared out of the turn with two consecutive birdies and added another with a 46-foot putt at the par-three fourth before a bogey-birdie finish.
