Jordan Spieth hits savage bunker shot to win playoff

Jun 25, 2017, 4:03 PM

Jordan Spieth found himself in a playoff with Daniel Berger at the Travelers Championship and began it with a tee shot right into the bunker.

Then he decided he was over it.

Spieth perfectly chipped the ball onto the green, where it rolled right into the cup as the crowd erupted. Easy enough, right?

The victory gave Spieth his 10th PGA Tour victory, putting him in company of only Tiger Woods as a 10-time tour winner before turning 24 years old. That’s great and all, but there were two more notable things about the decided chip.

First of all, Justin Thomas called it.

And secondly, let’s try to find a better celebration than Spieth’s club throw followed by a chest-bump with his caddie.

Berger wasn’t even mad about taking the loss.

“I mean, it’s just Jordan doing Jordan things,” said the runner-up.
