J.J. Spaun is positioned two shots behind leader Jordan Smith at the Charles Schwab Challenge, having recorded rounds of 64 and 68 at Colonial Country Club. The 35-year-old golfer, who won the Valero Texas Open in April, expressed confidence in his game as he seeks his second win of the season. However, Spaun was not pleased with how he closed his second round, particularly after receiving a warning for slow play that he felt disrupted his focus. He started strong with a four-under par front nine but faltered on the back nine, finishing with a two-over par 37. Additionally, Spaun recently switched putters, moving away from the model that helped him win the U.S. Open last year, which he felt was necessary as he had begun to resent his previous putter. He acknowledged that his ball striking has been solid, and he believes that slight improvements in putting can lead to contention in tournaments.
