Jordan Spieth says he happy with his stroke play but is having trouble with after his short distance putting in the second round at the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey.

00:00:00:00 SOUNDBITE: (English) Jordan Spieth: " Yeah, I originally could have taken relief from the path. My drop would have been to the left, and that would have caused me to have little to know shot. So I wanted all my options, one of my options was you can take relief from the causal water without taking relief from the path. Because he asked me, hey, if there were no casual water on the cart path, what would you do here? I said I would for sure play it. I would play it off the path. Anybody would. There is no other shot from left there except to try and punch -- you can't even punch back out to the fairway. You would have to punch up No. 10. I decided to take we relief from the casual water which I didn't do correctly the first couple of drops. I ended up still standing in it. Finally, on the last one, it went into a location more straight back in line with the hole where I could then have a stance in line with the hole that would not be in casual water. I then altered my stance to play a different shot than what I would have played had it been on the original angle of my drops. Because of that, he said we were following the correct rules and we were taking relief. I was just altering the stance with a toe that was up. It wasn't resting in it because it was on the cart path and it was dug down. I say cart path, it's that gravel. So the waters dip down. So my toe wasn't on the water, I don't know if it matters or not, but it was certainly hovering over it. It was a different angle in flight at the right of the green that he said was appropriate. So I trust my rules official there."

2.00: 01:36:20 SOUNDBITE: (English) Jordan Spieth: "Yeah, 100 percent. I would have never hit if I was not told it was okay by a rules official. He told me it was fine. Really don't know why we were talking about to be honest. It was a casual water relief drop that took a little extra time. I guess obviously people are talking to you thinking it should be a problem, but it was no problem."

3. 00:01 55:20 SOUNDBITE: (English) Jordan Spieth: "Oh, no. Never thought about it once I hit my shot."

4. 02:05:11 SOUNDBITE: (English) Jordan Spieth: "Okay. That's fine. There was microphones. It can be reviewed that he said, hey, this is relief from it. You are changing the view. We've fallen under the rule to make this appropriate."

5. 02:23:00 SOUNDBITE: (English) Jordan Spieth: "No. Like I said, I never thought twice about it whatsoever. I don't think there's any problem with it. If there happens to be then that's not on me. I literally asked every question I could ask and I got every answer I could be to be content. That's first and foremost what you are trying to do is obviously abide by the rules. If I had to go over any more, if he told me I did then I would have. He said it was just fine, so it was just fine."

6 02:56 SOUNDBITE: (English) Jordan Spieth: "I'm hitting the ball fantastic. I just can't get a putt to go in outside ten feet. And from ten to 20 feet, the amount of opportunities I've had that aren't that difficult, up to my putting standards I would be 5, 6, 7 strokes better right now. It feels like it's a bit of a struggle adapting line and speed control on the greens. Inside of ten, I made quite a few good birdie putts today to get me in contention. I'm striking the ball beautifully. Driver went a little astray, but overall I feel like I'm in a good position to make a run, I just need a couple good rounds."
