J.J. Spaun is contending at Colonial and believing things are aligning for his U.S. Open defense
Spaun is 8 under after 36 holes and says his game is lining up three weeks before he defends his first major title.
- On Friday, J.J. Spaun carded a 2-under 68 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, reaching 8 under and sitting two shots behind leader Jordan Smith at Colonial after 36 holes.
- Spaun, who missed cuts in six of his first 13 events this year, switched putters to regain confidence on the greens. "I found myself kind of resenting my putter at times," Spaun said.
- Leading the field at 10 under, rookie Jordan Smith shot a second consecutive 65. "Swing still hasn't felt 100%, but we've been hitting a lot of fairways and a lot of greens," Smith said.
- Temperatures at Colonial reached the mid-90s with a heat index approaching 100. "The fairways will get firm and these fairways will get tougher to hit," 2023 British Open champion Brian Harman said.
- Preparing for his U.S. Open defense at Shinnecock Hills, Spaun will skip the Canadian Open to rest. "It will be nice to have a week off," Spaun said.
