Good news, problem for Jordan Spieth at the Players Championship on Friday — problem: his tee shot was so off target, it struck a viewer. Good news: the unexpected contact knocked the ball back onto the fairway — preventing landing in the beverage!!
The wild minute decreased on the 9th hole at TPC Sawgrass … when a having a hard time Spieth’s drive headed directly for the water.
What are the chances?! @JordanSpieth’s tee shot was heading into the water prior to his ball struck a fan and ricocheted back in the fairway.
It likely would have made the distinction in Spieth making it @THEPLAYERSChamp. https://t.co/W3dqAnl30I pic.twitter.com/IRiHzRS30N

Luckily for Spieth — and unfortunately for the fan — the ball drilled the guest right in the knee … and it ricocheted back onto the fairway with an ideal bounce.
Here’s where it gets back at crazier — Spieth was on the brink of missing out on the cut on the last hole … and a bogey or even worse might’ve sunk him.
As it ends up, the ball’s landing area assisted the star surface the hole with an eagle — leaving him conveniently within the cut line.

The story has an even better ending, as Spieth offered the fan his glove as an apology/thank you present.
Spieth completed the round +3 … and is even through 2 days of competitors.
If luck keeps coming his method, possibly he can soar the leaderboard and surface strong!!
