Jordan Spieth had golf fans purring with an incredible shot from a bush keeping him on par and in contention at the Phoenix Open.
The American got himself into a spot of bother on the 11th at TPC Scottsdale when he sliced his ball into the trees.
With the pressure on to remain on par 4, Spieth took the shot left-handed with a putter, and what followed was simply magic.
Spieth’s kick-out went a staggering 34 yards, squeezing past another bush, somehow leaving him just 128 yards to the hole.
With two shots still to go, Spieth knocked his shot to 12 feet and had no issues with his par attempt.
And fans watching the shot were left marvelling at Spieth’s brilliance.
“Golf is better with Jordan Spieth is playing well. No more evident with that par,” one fan said.
“Hahahaha what an all-time par save from Jordan Spieth,” another added.
“Jordan Spieth doing Jordan Spieth things. There’s no better player to watch on the PGA Tour. Great to see him back in contention after the wrist surgery,” this fan said.
“Jordan Spieth is so back,” another posted.
Spieth is searching for his first title since the 2022 RMC Heritage having battled wrist injuries for the best part of two years.
The 31-year-old underwent wrist surgery last summer but aggravated it in the first round of last week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
“I had to flick one and it jammed it pretty good, and it locked up on me for a little while,” Spieth said.
“My wrist kind of hurt in the first round last week and I went away from all the work that I had been doing just to kind of manipulate what I could, and then I said, you know what, I just have to get through it.
“So I was back to the status quo Sunday on all the stuff that I had been doing, and it paid off there.”
At the time of writing, Spieth was joint fourth with Scot Robert McIntyre on -15, five shots behind leader Thomas Detry going into the final four holes.
Americans Daniel Berger and Michael Jim were second and third on 17-under and 16-under respectively.
