(Reuters) - Jordan Spieth returns to very familiar territory for this week's AT&T Byron Nelson in Irving, Texas, though he has a score to settle at the TPC Four Seasons Resort where he has finished no better than joint 16th in six starts.

His best ever performance came in 2010 when he got his first taste of PGA Tour competition as a 16-year-old schoolboy on an amateur exemption, but Spieth has since struggled to bring his top form to the event held close to his hometown of Dallas.
