Jordan Spieth says his good shots are 'getting absolutely boned' during all-time convo with caddie Michael Greller
Every golfer who has ever played has felt how Jordan Spieth felt on Thursday. The three-time major champ seemed to be hitting the golf ball well, but he wasn't getting anything out of it. And the frustration was mounting just four holes into the Memorial Tournament.
After a pair of opening bogeys and a missed fairway on the par-5 fifth, Spieth faced a decision for his second shot. And here's where things get good, because in came Michael Greller to play the role of caddie and psychologist.
As Spieth and Greller went through their options from the thick rough, Spieth let his disappointment be known with an all-time back and forth between the most entertaining player-caddie duo on tour.
"Let's just hit it right there," Greller said, promoting a safer pitch out to the fairway.
"I don't wanna hit it right there," Spieth said, resembling a toddler not wanting to eat their vegetables. "Because I'm hitting good shots, and they're getting absolutely boned so far. So, I can't accept it."
We feel you, Jordan. We feel you. Anyway, here's the clip, which results in Spieth hitting another good shot in just being able to muscle his golf ball back to the fairway.
So good. And moments later, Spieth had to feel a bit better. After hitting his approach shot to 24 feet, he rolled in the putt for his first birdie of the day at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
Hang in there, Jordan. And Michael.
