Jordan Spieth smashes a Happy Gilmore-style drive better than Happy Gilmore

by Mark Sandritter

In 2015 Jordan Spieth proved he could do anything on a golf course. From winning a major championship at 21 years old to adding another major and reaching No. 1 in the world rankings. He showed us he’s also pretty good at trick shots, too, at a Pro-Am in Florida.

Just about everyone who has picked up a golf club has tried a Happy Gilmore style drive at one point. And if you have, you know it’s hard to make good contact like Spieth did there. The fact there was a crowd of people around couldn’t have made that any easier.

Spieth may have made it look easy, but not every pro can pull it off.
