Watch Bubba Watson hit a ridiculous recovery shot as Jordan Spieth commentates

December 04, 2015

We love when elite golfers start calling highlights. This weekend saw Tiger Woods make a trip to the Golf Channel broadcast booth, where he started reading putts without being prompted to by the announcers.

And remember when Phil Mickelson described how he hit his flop shot off the cart path last year? When golf's best get a mic in their hands, it can be fine.

Jordan Spieth is the latest to get in on the fun. He was being interviewed and was asked about this recovery shot Bubba Watson hit at the 18th hole on Friday at the Hero World Challenge. The World No. 1 explains how difficult the shot was, with the variability of the denseness of the sand. You know, how we all would call it.

Classic nice-guy Spieth gushing over an other-worldly recovery from Bubba. Just like we all would be.

These guys are good -- even at announcing!
