SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. That Jordan Spieth is still winless at this juncture of the season can be traced to one club: His normally reliable putter.Though Spieth has insisted that hes close to recapturing his magical form on the greens, the stats suggest otherwise. Entering the U.S. Open, hes ranked 127th in putts per round, 161st in three-putt avoidance and 190th in strokes gained: putting. Hes missing from both long range (192nd from 20-25 feet) and short (180th from 4 feet), and at times has appeared so frustrated with his stroke that he seemingly walks after his ball the moment he makes contact.But two weeks ago at the Memorial, he said he experienced a breakthrough.

Spieth enjoyed his best putting event of the season, even though his ball-striking abandoned him for the first time all year. He missed the cut, capping off a stretch of four events in a row without a top-10, the first time hes done that since the summer of 2014.Everyone goes through peaks and valleys of results in any part of your game, and I just got a little off in setup, he said Tuesday at Shinnecock. Im really starting to bring it back now. It feels very good.Whats been different this season, what has truly tested his patience, is how few chances hes had to win. Hes posted four top-10s in 15 starts, and in only one of those events at the Masters, where he fired a scintillating 64 did he truly scare the lead on Sunday.In between Austin and Houston [in late March] was a really big weekend for me of settling down and getting back on the right track with things and recognizing that its a long career and results arent going to come by wanting them to come, he said. Theyre going to come by being obsessed with the process, getting back to the basics, being an athlete, figuring out the swing, the intricacies of the game. I feel like my game is in the best shape its been in a long time, and my results dont necessarily speak to that. But I feel that way, and so Ill stick with the process, and theyll surely come at some point.

The injury not only caused Koepka to miss the Masters, it stopped the momentum that began with his 4-shot victory in the U.S. Open at Erin Hills last summer. In his next nine starts, Koepka had one victory (by 9 shots in Japan), a runner-up in the World Golf Championships event in Shanghai, two other top-10s and only one finish out of the top 20.
