Jordan Spieth savoured a return to normal among the "best fans" in golf after posting an impressive five under par 65 in the first round of the Open Championship on Thursday. "I've really loved this tournament," said Spieth, who won the 2017 Open at Royal Birkdale. They're just the best in golf -- very knowledgeable, and you always know where your ball is even if it's a blind shot. Spieth won three majors in two years from 2015-17, a purple patch that included the Masters and US Open titles as well as his Claret Jug triumph. He went nearly four years, without a tour victory of any kind, however, until triumphing at the Texas Open in April.
