‘One of my better pars’ – Jordan Spieth escapes from impossible position in a bush as fans are stunned

With the pressure on to keep up with the leaders, Spieth played the shot left-handed with a putter, and what followed was simply magic.

Spieth’s kick-out squeezed past another shrub and back onto the fairway, leaving him just 128 yards to the hole.

The 31-year-old former Masters champion knocked his approach shot to 12 feet and had no issues with his par putt.

“One of the better pars I’ve ever made, to be honest,” Spieth said.

“I couldn’t get to it right-handed. It was going to be too hard. My hands were going to have to stop well short of the ball, and it wasn’t until like the last second because I thought about left-handed, but I thought about left-handed with like an iron up to the side.

“It wasn’t until the last second I was like, ‘I’ve got a flat spot on the back of my putter I can at least nudge it up here, it’s better than an unplayable,’ and dodged the bush.

“I somehow made par. That was a steal.”

Fans watching the shot were left marvelling at Spieth’s brilliance.
