PGA Tour shared a video on their Twitter of Spieth interacting with his little fans. 

It all started when Spieth hit his shot, and he heard some fans calling out his name. He was sweet to invite them on the other side of the rope. Several little fans just came running toward him. 

“Is that the best drive you’ve seen?” Spieth jokingly continued before the kids could reply, “That’s what you’re going to tell everyone, all right?” 

A little fan thanked him and wished him good luck, “Thank you Jordan, Hit them good.” Jordan replied to the kid “Thank you, buddy, you got it.” Jordan also clicked a picture with one kid. A kid asked Spieth, “High-Five?” and Jordan high-fived the kid, and the kid jumped up with joy!
