Jordan Spieth Hits Four Trees Enroute To Making Hilarious Quad At Sony Open
- Updated: January 11, 2018
When amateurs make a quad, we’re usually following it up with another one. But when you’re Jordan Spieth and you make a quad, it’s national headlines.
On Thursday during the first round of the Sony Open at Waialae C.C., Spieth had rollercoaster day en route to a -1 69 (nice) carding EIGHT birdies against three bogeys, and a quad … which conveniently we are going to focus on because it looked like something you’d see at your local muni.
Cruising along inside the top five at -4 heading to the 8th hole, his 17th of the day, Spieth pulled his tee shot on the 454-yard par-4 left sending it crashing into the trees. His second shot hit a tree. His third shot hit a tree. His fourth shot – wait for it – also hit a tree. FOUR trees in FOUR shots! Sounds like the last time I teed it up! From there he dumped his fifth in the sand, splashed out and two-putted for the snowman eight. Woof.
