Jordan Spieth Defies Caddie’s Advice, Nails Birdie from Tough Lie at Memorial

Jordan Spieth faced a challenging situation on the par-5 fifth hole at Muirfield Village when his tee shot hit a tree and ended up in a difficult lie far from the fairway. Despite his caddie Michael Greller’s suggestion to play it safe and chip out to the left, Spieth decided to go for the fairway, confident he could still salvage par even from the rough. The shot was risky — the fairway was about 115 yards away, and the ball’s position made it nearly impossible to reach cleanly.
