“They were just asking questions about it because it was maybe hard to tell how stable it was.” Additionally, Spieth asked them where they were while he was playing this shot. “And they were like, my mom and Annie couldn’t watch, and my dad was just like, what’s going on?”

However, it is worth noting that Jordan isn’t proud of his actions. “I think looking back, I just never had a situation where it was like a life and death scenario on the golf course. So I think it was just kind of weird in that setting. But I don’t expect to have any more of those anytime soon.”  

Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth carded -3 on the final day and remained two short of the lead. He scored five birdies but at the same time had two bogeys which dropped his score. However, looking at his game, Spieth is knocking on the doors of victory, and hopefully, it will open for him soon this season.
