Accidents happen at the greens when sometimes golf balls hit the spectators. Despite the safety measures, some things are just not in our hands.

Jordan Spieth gave a fan from the gallery a memory he will never forget. The video went viral, and the golf world reacted to the incident.

Why is the fan thankful to Jordan Spieth?

The Instagram handle of the PGA Tour posted an interview of a fan who incurred a material loss during WGC-Match Play. But he is not sad about it, in fact, his excitement reached beyond the clouds. The fan started narrating the incident and said, “We’re sitting there on the 7th behind the green. I’m watching Jordan tee off, you know, excited to see Jordan play.” He added, “And he tees off and watching him swing, everybody, saying, hey, it’s coming along. It’s coming long.

Everyone thought it hit his leg, but later the fan realized it hit his mobile phone. The screen was shattered, and he even showed it to the camera during the interview. Spieth started walking up to chip, but before that, he had a business to attend to. The PGA Tour pro came to his fan and apologized. The three-time major championship winner said, “We’re going to get in contact after the round. Is that cool?” It clearly mesmerized the fan.

The fan said that Spieth walking up to him was “kind of crazy,” and then his reaction to the accident was “pretty surreal.” The fan felt lucky to be able to talk to the former number three golfer. It was one of his favorite moments of his life. Even though the fan told Spieth, “hey, don’t worry about it,” he was happy that this happened. Instead, the happy guy said, “Just get up and down.” Later, Spieth ended up making a 30-foot putt. “So, how cool is that? What a blessing, right? So thank you, Jordan, for hitting me, man,” said the fan. Because of the accident, he got to interact directly with his golf idol. It was truly a golden moment for him.

Golf world reacts to the fan’s precious moment

The incident was so memorable and important that a fan said, “His grandkids are gonna want to hear that story over and over again.” Another fan chimed in and said, “Jordan using the gallery as a backstop is brilliant.” However, Spieth is also part of AT&T, and therefore some comments were sarcastic. Comments like, “That AT&T sponsorship really going to pay off today lol,” and “Jordan’s got a hookup with ATT not to worry!!” were specifically for it.

But that was not it. The comments section also appreciated the golfer and the happy fan. “What a great story for the rest of this dude’s life,” “Frame the old phone with a pic 😅” and “what a great kid,” were some of them. A hilarious comment was the highlight. It read, “Spieth racking up an account with golf fans😂” and “Jordan Spieth every two rounds😂” But all in all, his AT&T sponsorship was the talk of the town. “AT&T will ship him a used 5c replacement,” and “Jordan is switching him to AT&T.” Followed by, “That AT&T contract coming in clutch.”
