Spieth was within three shots of the lead at the turn of the second round at Riviera until he dropped three shots as Patrick Cantlay, playing in his group, began to fall back. He made a double bogey on the 18th hole with a score of 73, leaving him 10 shots behind. But he signed for three on the par-three fourth hole when he actually scored a four, leading to his disqualification. Spieth missed the green on the left, missed by about four feet and slid.
