Jordan Spieth's U.S. Open title defense didn't get off to an optimal start Thursday, but the 22-year-old remains in the hunt for his third major title.  

Inclement weather was one of the biggest stories in Round 1 at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Only a handful of golfers completed their rounds. Spieth, like many others, will have to wait until Friday to wrap up his opening 18 holes. The PGA Tour offered a suitable image to sum up his Thursday:



At one over through 11 holes, Spieth is tied for 16th:



Here's a look at his hole-by-hole scorecard:



Spieth's day started out well. He birdied the 12th hole to move to one under. His momentum stalled, however, on the ensuing holes, and he gave a stroke back with a bogey on No. 14.

After Spieth carded pars on Nos. 15 and 16, his frustration boiled over on the 17th hole. His second shot ended up in a bunker to the right front of the green. The television cameras picked up his immediate reaction, per David Dusek of Golfweek:



Former PGA champion Paul Azinger offered his thoughts on Spieth's brief outburst, via FS1:



The shot came just before a weather delay. Spieth had a little more than an hour to contemplate how he'd get out of the bunker, and he used the time well. He placed his chip out of the sand five feet from the hole and saved par.

After making the turn, Spieth bogeyed the second hole, which was his last completed hole before the third weather delay at Oakmont and the ultimate suspension of the day's action.

Thursday was far from a disaster for Spieth. He is only four shots back of Andrew Landry, who is leading with one more hole remaining in his round. Bubba Watson and Danny Lee are tied for second at two under, and they're through 14 and 13 holes, respectively.

History doesn't bode well for Spieth. No golfer...
