Jordan Spieth is a lucky golfer. Today, his luck has come to quite the use, as he caught an amazing break at the 2023 Players Championship. Spieth seemed to be next in line to suffer at the TPC Sawgrass. But things turned out to be quite the opposite. Spieth had only one goal in mind- to not miss the cut.
On his last hole, he was 5 over par in the round and very close to missing the cut. That was until, a fan saved him- literally. When he hit the ball, it seemed to go straight to the water and Spieth thought that it was all over for him. If the ball went into the water, it would not even be in play. Soon the ball was in the fairway.
Just as Spieth was about to give up on the ball, it hit a fan. The ball then bounced off the leg of the fan and came on to the short grass. “Needing to probably birdie to make the cut, I can’t really birdie having to drop it over in the right rough over there and hitting my third,” Spieth said. “It would have been a one-in-a-million make.”

Spieth managed to make an eagle on the last hole, and the fan is the only reason he is still in play at the Championship. “I got an extremely lucky break on 9 or I wouldn’t be playing the weekend,” said Spieth. “Trying to get that guy’s information and see literally whatever he wants this weekend. Because everything from here on out is because it hit him.”
However the 2023 Players Championship is turning out to be quite the unexpected one. Jon Rahm has withdrawn from the Championship, some of the biggest golfers in the world are struggling. Rory McIlroy might miss the cut, and South African golfer Christiaan Bezuidenhout might just win his very first major. Needless to say, it will be all ‘eyes’ on deck to see what happens at the Players Championship.
