CHARLOTTE, N.C. Jordan Spieth promised to be free-rolling this week as he attempts to capture the career Grand Slam.It sure didnt look like it Thursday at the PGA Championship.Frustrated on the greens, Spieth took 32 swipes with the putter but rallied with two late birdies to shoot a 1-over 72 in his pursuit to become the youngest player to win all four majors.If I had shot 1 over and didnt strike it well and everything was average, it would have been fine, Spieth said afterward. But when I had the chances that I had and I just couldnt get the ball to go in, that is when I get the most frustrated I can get out there.

Indeed, Spieth has been erratic off the tee this year and worked the past few days to tighten up his driver, but that part of his game didnt let him down in the opening round. It was his often-brilliant-but-occasionally-maddening putter.The biggest issue was his speed control on longer putts, which was made even more difficult with Quail Hollows lightning-fast Bermuda greens that were remodeled last spring. Spieth also said that many of the holes were cut on slopes, which lessens a players expectations from inside 20 feet. Jordan played OK, said Brooks Koepka, who was in Spieths group. He didnt make as many putts as he usually does. I feel like that 15- to 20-foot range, usually we see him make a bunch of putts, but he just didnt make any.But hes a grinder. Its impressive to watch him play. He picks apart a golf course really, really well.Spieth was able to salvage his round and sit just five shots off the early lead with a hybrid into the par-5 seventh that set up an easy birdie, and then a birdie on the short eighth. Spieth said he would have thrown myself out of the tournament if hed played that stretch in even par, instead of 2 under.If you told me I was going to hit my driver the way that I did today, I would have definitely thought I shot a few under par, which was an awesome score, he said. I cant putt any worse than I did today. The score wont be any higher than it was today if Im driving the ball like I did.
