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.”
