Jordan Spieth ends worst stretch of his season with a hole-in-one

As shouter at the golf ball, Jordan Spieth is nonpareil. Every hole, almost every shot, he’s yelling at the ball to do something, from impact, in the air, and upon landing. But yelling “be enough” on a hole-in-one that was dialed in from the start seems unfair.

Spieth needed the ace though. It brought him under par for the first time since the first round of The Barclays, the playoffs opener last month.

This FedExCup has been a mess for Spieth, who missed the first two cuts during what was unquestionably his worst stretch of a phenomenal year. The ace quickly pushed him to 2-under for the day and inside the top 10 at the time. He’s still five shots back of his playing partner and leader Jason Day, who holed out from a fairway bunker for his own eagle on the preceding hole. Day is unconscious and back on top of the leaderboard by a wide margin yet again.

Spieth, Day, and Rickie Fowler are putting on a show early in the week at the BMW.

UPDATE: This is definitely a show right now. Spieth holed out with a wedge on his very next hole too.

So that’s a par, an ace, and a birdie in his last three holes ... and he was STILL a shot worse than Day, who is now 8-under through his first 12 holes and officially on #59Watch.
