UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — The old line when a famous golfer shoots a bad score—Lee Trevino used to toss it out frequently—was that 90 percent of the pros didn’t care and the other 10 percent wish he had played even worse. Harsh, but mostly true.

Golfers are so focused on their own games, their own difficulties, it’s rare when they even acknowledge those of a competitor.

These are tough times for Woods, certainly. His second-round score in the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay on Friday was marginally improved over the awful round he had Thursday, a 76 compared to an 80—Woods’ third score in the 80s since January. Still, he missed the cut and was down at the bottom of the scoreboard, not at the top where he once used to be.

So the question was posed to Jordan Spieth, the new Tiger Woods who is near the top after 36 holes, if he or the other big-name contestants talked about Woods’ miseries. Whether they took notice of his decline and fall—as did the rest of us.

“I don’t think so,” said Spieth, who this April won the Masters, as Woods has on four previous occasions. “Given that this a U.S. Open, we have to maintain an insane amount of focus on ourselves. But sure, it’s Tiger. Everybody is aware. Everybody hopes that he’s back and contending soon.



“I’ve certainly enjoyed my time playing with him, playing practice rounds and learning from him. He seems to be getting close, even though the scores may not show it. And I wish him the best. But as far as talking about it, there’s really no murmur.”

Jason Day, the Australian, is a pal of Woods and played a practice round with him earlier in the week....
