McKINNEY, Texas — It’s becoming widely recognized that the appropriate response to the question “Did you see what Jordan Spieth pulled off?” is simply “Which time?”
On Friday, for example, the Dallas native pulled some more magic from his Under Armour hat, this time a simple par save on the 10th hole at TPC Craig Ranch, when he reworked his backswing to punch a shot on the green.
“I didn’t know how the ball got there. I thought it kind of was directly behind the tree from the tee box,” Spieth said. “I could lineup maybe left side of the left greenside bunker, so if I could just get a good somewhat of a strike on it. I could get enough cut spin, I knew that, I just needed to carry far enough to carry the rough. I wasn’t exactly sure. I maybe didn’t expect to hit the green but I thought that getting it out and up near the front of the green was certainly a possibility.
