Jordan Spieth hasn't played much golf lately. The three-time major winner revealed this week that he tested positive for COVID-19 about 10 days after the Masters, leading him to take a few weeks off to recover. Yet his bout with the coronavirus sapped neither his golf talent nor his flair for the dramatic.

Spieth drained a 55-foot eagle putt on the final hole to cap off a bogey-free, 9-under 63 and vault himself into a tie with J.J. Spaun for the first-round lead at the AT&T Byron Nelson on Thursday.

He said sinking a 12-foot birdie putt on the first hole was an important confidence-builder as he got settled in. Spieth followed that up with four more birdies on the front nine. "It's one I'm just trying to get to tap in and cap off a good day," Spieth said. "I started leaning because I thought it was gonna miss left and it just kind of fell in the left side of the hole. The roar was pretty electric."

After starting on the back nine, Spaun wrapped up on No. 9 with a birdie to eke ahead of the pack early in the day.
