The Good: Spieth is coming off a win at the John Deere Classic after basically spotting the rest of the field a round. After opening with a one-over-par 71 -- which at TPC Deere Run is probably the equivalent of a 75 at an average PGA Tour course -- Spieth shot 64-61-68 and beat Tom Gillis in a playoff. That gives Spieth two straight victories and four wins overall this season. This guy pretty much never has a bad week.
