Jordan Spieth is one of the most enjoyable golfers to watch because you never know what’s going to happen next.
Sometimes it’s going to be something really awesome and sometimes it’s going to be some that’s so awesomely bad.
The three-time major champion had another classic moment in the third round of the BMW Championship on Saturday. He and his caddie, Michael Greller, had a long discussion about a difficult approach shot from a bunker, with Greller doing everything he could to try to talk Spieth out of going for a hero shot and just play it safe.
Speith, however, decided to go against those wishes and went for the difficult option.
How’d it go for him? Not well!
A double bogey to drop out of the lead.

Yup, Spieth probably should have listened to his caddie there.
Twitter had reactions.
“It’s a cool Tuesday or Wednesday shot” is Caddiese for “don’t you dare even think about trying this.”
Greller did all he could. But a golfer with his mind made up on a hero shot will not listen to such boring topics as logic and reason.

One of the things that make Spieth and Greller a great duo. Jordan takes full responsibility before the shot, “This is all on me.” Then Michael says nothing after it doesn’t work. Most importantly he won’t LOOK annoyed when Jordan looks over at him. #TheGreatCaddiesKnowWhenToSTFU https://t.co/cgSqzRGLI3

"Why does Greller even try?!" 😂
