Jordan Spieth had quite the near-miss at a tournament this weekend when a group of fans watching his shot from the gallery were forced to duck to avoid being hit by the ball.

As he hit the ball from the rough, several fans attending the event at the Muirfield Village Golf Club can be seen standing directly in front of his shot in the gallery. They quickly reacted by ducking as the errant ball sailed over their heads, just missing them.
Check out the clip below.
According to Newsweek, Spieth's game went much more smoothly after the near-miss, and his next shot reached 22 feet.
Despite the progress, Spieth tied for seventh with four others and nine shots below winner Scottie Scheffler at -1 after a combination of bogeys and birdies kept him from taking any leads. His winnings were still significant, however, as Golfweek reported that he took home $603,200 in prize money.

Scheffler then became the first player since Tiger Woods to successfully defend his title at the Memorial Tournament and took home his third victory of the 2025 PGA Tour season.

Molly Gordon Reacts to Her Viral Kissing Pics with 'The Bear' Costar Jeremy Allen White, Says We're a 'Judgmental Society'
Molly Gordon reacted to the viral photos of her kissing her The Bear co-star Jeremy Allen White last September in a new interview with Vanity Fair The actors play love interests Claire Dunlap and Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, respectively, on the series Gordon said it's been "at times annoying, fascinating and interesting — just to be a part of something that people have opinions on" regarding the onscreen romanceMolly Gordon is sharing her reaction to those viral photos of her kissing her The Bear co-star, Jeremy Allen White. The Booksmart and Theater Camp actress, 29, avoided addressing the liplocked snaps directly when asked about them by Vanity Fair, only saying, "With the internet, I just think — I even see it in myself as a fan of things — we're just a more judgmental society." Gordon joined season 2 of The Bear as Claire Dunlap, the childhood sweetheart of White's Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto. The two pursue a relationship after a chance meet-cute in the grocery store, but are currently not together in the series. However, last September, the co-stars were photographed kissing in Los Angeles, arms wrapped around each other as the embraced and shared a kiss. A month later, Gordon and White, 34, were spotted stepping out for dinner in New York City's West Village. After the PDA photos, a source told PEOPLE there were on-set rumors that the co-stars "had intense chemistry even when not filming" but that they had only recently started "exploring their chemistry" in real life. The source added that White "really seems into" Gordon. Elsewhere in her Vanity Fair interview, Gordon opened up about how she was cast on The Bear. Having previously met creator Christopher Storer, she said she signed up for the restaurant drama only knowing she'd be playing a doctor — not that she'd be Carmy's love interest, whom he affectionately calls "Claire Bear." "I'm always 'the friend,' " she said. "I've never played the romantic person. I was like, 'Whoa, this is going to be a different experience.' " Gordon said White's protagonist "is a character that people feel so protective over, and it's been kind of controversial to bring a romantic element into the show." "That's been at times annoying, fascinating and interesting — just to be a part of something that people have opinions on," she added.
