Jordan Spieth Turns Heads with Major Blunder at PGA Tour Event originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Despite posting his worst round of the weekend on Sunday, Jordan Spieth managed to secure a top-10 finish at Muirfield Village. Spieth shot a 74 in the final round, landing in a five-way tie for seventh place at 1-under for the Memorial Tournament.

Scottie Scheffler continued his dominant run, winning the event by four strokes over Ben Griffin and five over Sepp Straka.
But Spieth's final score isn't what everyone is talking about. Instead, attention has turned to his inconsistent and sometimes erratic play, including one moment that could have ended badly for a spectator.
A clip shared by NUCLR Golf on social media shows Spieth turning on a shot during the final round of the Memorial Tournament. The ball veered off and came dangerously close to hitting a fan sitting just inside the roped-off gallery area:
"Jordan Spieth nearly takes out a fan during the final round of the Memorial Tournament."
Reactions flooded in after the video made the rounds:

"Almost had to change the meaning of 'memorial' tournament," one fan quickly mentioned.
Here, a fan mentions it was not his only one: "This was one of three really lucky shots today."
"Not safe anywhere near Spieth," points out a fan.
A question many are asking: "Why would anyone stand in the line of fire…idc if he is a pro everyone hits bad shots."
"Thats way to close for spectators for that thick of rough! They should be back 20-25 ft more, says this commenter.
Lastly, this fan isn't impressed with Spieth's play: "Can't believe he still gets handout exemptions into these events, Charlie woods child be playing."

Spieth, who turns 32 in July, hasn't won a major since the 2017 Open Championship. His quest for a career Grand Slam remains incomplete after falling short at the PGA Championship in May.
His last PGA Tour win came in April 2022 at the RBC Heritage, where he edged out Patrick Cantlay in a playoff. While he's still one of golf's most recognizable names, Spieth hasn't quite regained the form that made him a household name in 2015.
That season, he won five tournaments, including two majors, and earned over $12 million. He also led the PGA Tour in scoring average in 2017 and finished second on the money list.
