Jordan Spieth is a wizard. While every PGA Tour player is the best of the best, Spieth’s ability to hit golf shots that simply do not make sense is unmatched. His magic was on full display during Thursday’s opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
On his third hole of the day, the Par 5 12th, Spieth found a fairway bunker with his tee shot. While he could have elected to take an iron and lay up in the fairway to a nice number and try to make birdie that way, the three-time major winner doesn’t exactly operate that way.

This not only applies to himself, but to former Wolverines defensive coordinator Jesse Minter.

1. I understand that some of you reading this don’t want to hear about the problems of rich athletes. Me? I’m fascinated to hear about shoddy work conditions no matter how much the people involved are making.
And, yes, an NFL team having a crappy workout room isn’t as problematic as someone making $15 an hour who is struggling to pay for health insurance. But in the world of sports, this is an eye-opening look at what players think about their own team.
