Jordan Spieth posted a solid first round but needs to change his approach at the Cognizant Classic, as so many are taking advantage of scoring.

The three-time major winner was in contention at the Phoenix Open earlier this month, playing four rounds under par, the first time he had accomplished that feat since the John Deere Classic last July.

Spieth was looking to escape 30-degree weather and give his surgically repaired wrist another test, so he decided to make his Cognizant Classic debut.

Jordan Spieth is enjoying the warmer weather as he ramps up his return from wrist surgery at this week's Cognizant Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Spieth said Tuesday that he decided to play in the event for the first time to thaw out and to test his fitness on the challenging track at the PGA National Champion Course.

Jordan Spieth hasn’t competed at PGA National Resort since a 2009 junior golf event. That will change at this week’s Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches.
