It's looking less likely than ever that we'll see the first repeat FedEx Cup champion in history, as Jordan Spieth bowed out of the 2016 Deutsche Bank Championship in relative anonymity Monday. 

Spieth carded a two-under 69, which took him into the clubhouse in 24th place. If current projections hold, he will drop from fifth place to sixth in the FedEx Cup standings.

The 23-year-old, who tied for 10th at last week's Barclays tournament, hasn't won since May's Dean & Deluca Invitational. He's recorded just two top 10s since that triumph and remains chasing the unrealistic expectation of matching his historic 2015.

The Texan left a pair of birdie attempts within inches of the hole on No. 1 and No. 2 before finally getting to one under at No. 3. His next handful of holes played out in a similar fashion. Spieth left birdie attempts within two feet of the hole on Nos. 4, 5, 7 and 8. Included in that was a mistake-riddled seventh that saw him lose a chance at getting a four on the par-five hole.

Those mistakes compounded on No. 9, as Spieth took the turn at even par after he hit his tee shot in the native area.

Things briefly got brighter on a two-hole stretch at No. 12 and 13. He hit an excellent 23-foot birdie after a 317-yard tee shot right down the fairway on No. 12 and continued the momentum by striking his approach to within two feet on the 13th.

That lasted all of about two holes before Spieth missed a nine-foot par putt to bring his round back to one under. A pair of solid pars on No. 16 and 17 set the stage for him to close out his round in strong fashion, as he narrowly missed...
