Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jordan Spieth performed excellently at the 2025 Memorial Tournament, finishing tied for 7th with a score of 1-under. However, it wasn't his result that made headlines this weekend. As usual, the three-time major champion faced several challenging situations during the tournament, including a moment when Spieth hit a shot just over the heads of several spectators. Video of the moment quickly went viral throughout the golf world. If the point of view of the television broadcast was frightening, it was even more so from the perspective of the fans in attendance. Video footage showing the spectators' view of the play has also surfaced, revealing the tremendous danger involved. A user identified as MCondon posted the video on X. The footage shows fans deep in the rough, right at the edge of the fairway, and Spieth hitting the ball directly toward them at a height that could easily have hit someone's head. Guy I was with was. Here's his POV — MCondon (@Marc_Condon) June 2, 2025 In a later post, McCondon stated that the fans were deeper into the fairway but that Spieth had asked them to move back. Nevertheless, this wasn't enough, and the now-famous situation arose. The play occured at the 490-yard par-4 hole 1 of the Muirfield Village Golf Club. As is also common for him, Spieth ended up making par on the hole. During the Memorial Tournament, the 31-year-old carded rounds of 72, 69, 72, and 74. This earned him his fourth top-10 finish of the season. Spieth has played in 14 events in 2025, making 12 cuts. His best finish of the year has been fourth place, which he has achieved twice, at the WM Phoenix Open and the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Max Homa Lands Tiger Woods' Former Caddie at RBC Canadian Open
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This week's RBC Canadian Open is a pivotal moment for Max Homa's season, as it's his last chance to qualify for the U.S. Open. If he doesn't have an outstanding performance at TPC Toronto, he will miss the season's third major for the first time since 2020. Acknowledging the importance of having an experienced caddie in situations like this and having recently lost his own, Homa reached out to one of the best available options. Lance Bennett, who has worked with Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar, among others, was the one he called. Golfweek's Adam Schupak reported this information and other caddie-related moves on the PGA Tour through his X account: "Word from the caddie yard: Max Homa will have Lance Bennett on the bag this week," Schupak posted. "Bennett was working for Michael Thorbjornsen but Thor hired JJ Jakovac as his full-time caddie. If you're scoring at home, JJ had been on Collin Morikawa's bag until Joe Greiner left Max for him."

Matt Kuchar has been his longest-standing employer, but he has also worked with stars such as Sungjae Im and Davis Riley on the men's side and with Juli Inkster, Paula Creamer, and Lorena Ochoa among the ladies. Bennett worked with Woods in all five tournaments he played in during the 2024 season: the Genesis Invitational, the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and the Open Championship. The 15-time major champion said he has a good rapport with the veteran caddie: "As far as Lance is concerned, I've had a great relationship with him over the years going back to when he caddied for Kooch [Matt Kuchar] and when we played at the Presidents Cup together back in, what, Muirfield Village [2013], Woods said, according to "Very down to earth, very loyal, and how he conversed through the years, I've also taken notice of that," he added. "We've had the same type of feeling in how we look at the golf course and how we read putts. They're very similar."
