Paramus, New Jersey …

Triple Major winning Jordan Spieth was naturally in very upbeat mood after matching his lowest round all year in posting a welcome return-to-form seven-under par 64 on day three of the Northern Trust.

The effort, and despite the frustration of a bogey at the first hole, matched a final round 64 Spieth had shot at this year’s Masters.

Spieth had just 25 putts and revealing he found something on the practice putting green ahead of his round.

“I really found kind of the setup that I used to putt with as I’ve been searching for it for a long time and I found close to, you know, 100 percent of it,” he said.

“It felt really good over the ball with the putter, and that’s why I started to run those mid-rangers in, because that line and speed was a lot easier to match up because my eyes were seeing where the putter blade was pointing.

“Just the stuff that I had been searching for, I had been making a lot of progress over the last month with the putter and today was a round where finally, the results came through. I haven’t needed the results to know that I was getting bet we are it. But it is nice to see it in a round like today.”

Then after a par of six, Spieth was observed penning something into a notebook.

“I wrote down how I had set-up for the par on six so I wouldn’t forget,” he said.

“I’ll take a picture and put it in the notes.  Just that trigger that gets me confident as I’m over the ball and not feeling like I have to manipulate anything.”

But when asked what he had written down Speith said:  “Oh, that’s something I’ll keep, it’s a secret of the pros (laughter) and besides I think I’ve given you guys a lot already (laughter).”
