Birdie helps give Spieth the lead

A BIRDIE on the last hole saw Jordan Spieth take sole possession of the early clubhouse lead at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.

The former world No 1 signed for a seven-under 63 on his debut at TPC River Highlands, with a bogey on the 406-yard ninth preventing him from securing more than a one-stroke advantage.

Local hopeful Brett Stegmaier was the early pacesetter and was tied for second with fellowAmerican Johnson Wagner, who like Stegmaier mixed seven birdies with a bogey.
