Jordan Spieth ignores caddie’s smart advice and makes birdie from rough at Memorial
May 29, 2025
Jordan Spieth doesn’t know of anyone who hates chipping back to the fairway more than him. He was presented another such situation Thursday at the Memorial. As usual, it was high entertainment. Spieth was buried in nasty rough and had 115 yards to get to the fairway. He wasn’t sure he could do that. Caddie Michael Greller suggested chipping out. Spieth was having none of that. Spieth says chipping out is so demoralizing to him that he’ll make bad decisions. This one worked out. He reached the fairway and made a 25-foot putt for birdie. He shot even-par 72.
