Jordan Spieth
Jordan Spieth is one of the most adventurous golfers out there, has a knack for playing daredevil shots every then and now. Spieth, who holds the second spot at the ongoing AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, played a similar shot literally on the edge of a cliff!
This incident took place when about 10 or so yards left of Jordan Spieth’s ball, and a disclaimer popped in between to warn him. In 16 white letters across a green background, Danger, the first line read. Steep, it followed. Cliff, it advised at the end.
However, the American golfer went on to hit his second shot on Saturday on the par-4 8th at Pebble Beach. Notably, his right foot was a yard from a cliff and his left foot sloping down into it. And some 70-foot drop into the Pacific Ocean below him. Nonetheless, he ended up hitting it just over the green during the day’s third round of the tournament.
Here’s the full video of Jordan Spieth’s ‘dangerous’ shot:
Broadcast analysts react to Spieth’s risky hit
While Spieth successfully completed his shot, analysts Ian Baker-Finch and Nick Faldo indulged in an interesting conversation to describe the awestrucking moment.
“That is one that he will remember for a long while,” analyst Ian Baker-Finch said on the CBS broadcast.
“Are you going to go for that? No way you’d stand there and play that,” analyst Nick Faldo said on the broadcast. “Oh my goodness.”
“Let’s hope he’s not suffering from vertigo or anything when he gets close to that cliff,” Baker-Finch said.
“I mean, guys, this is a scary shot normally, but this is downright terrifying,” analyst Colt Knost said on the broadcast.
“I don’t think I could do that,” Faldo said.
“He survived,” Baker-Finch said on the broadcast.
“He is alive,” Faldo said.
“Take a deep breath. That was amazing,” Baker-Finch added.
