WGC ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIPFebruary 21, 2014Jordan SpiethMARANA, ARIZONA Q. Jordan Spieth continues to advance in this championship. How good was this golf you played today?

JORDAN SPIETH: Yeah, I'm getting definitely more and more comfortable with the golf course. On the greens, I need to get some work done on my putting, get a pop back into it. I was a little easy on the greens today.
