For his own sake, let’s hope Jordan Spieth doesn’t flirt with a cliffside catastrophe again at the eighth hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California.
A year ago, his tee shot in the third round at the famed par 4 during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am crossed into the penalty area but stopped 18 inches from plummeting over the edge and on to the rocks more than 70 feet below. It made for great TV, listening to the pleas of caddie Michael Greller to play it safe and take a drop before Spieth risked life and limb to hit a 7-iron from 162 yards and pulled off the death-defying stunt.
