PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.—Jordan Spieth figured he would be the latest to pay the price at the TPC Sawgrass on a day of big numbers. Instead, he got a break he never imagined Friday at The Players Championship.

Not everyone so lucky, least of all Max McGreevy, who needed a birdie on the final hole just to break 90.
