Jordan Spieth Plays Ping Pong On The 15th Hole At The Masters, Makes Quadruple-Bogey 9 Yet Again
Watching Jordan Spieth play golf is an experience, and one that is never, ever relaxing. In one swing, he can look like his old self, the player who won three majors in three year's time, and then the next, he can legitimately look lost.
The lost version of Spieth showed himself on the Par 5 15th hole during the opening round of the Masters, and oh what an adventure it was.
Spieth, like most players during Friday morning's restart of the first round, elected to lay up on the 550 yard hole. He left himself a touch, yet very doable wedge shot for his third, but sailed the green. With the hole cut towards the front of the green with water very much in play, Spieth had to hit a perfect pitch shot to have a chance at saving.
He failed to do so.
Spieth's fourth shot trickled into the water, and while it seemed like things couldn't possibly get worse, they quickly did. After taking his drop on the opposite side of the water hazard, Spieth airmailed the green yet again with what was his sixth shot. From there, he went on to three-putt from just off the back of the green to make a quadruple bogey nine.
You can watch the lowlight of Spieth's nine here, but the shot tracer paints a pretty clear picture of just how adventurous things were on the iconic 15th hole.

The wildest part about Spieth's nine on No. 15 is that it isn't the first time he's managed to walk off of that exact green with a quadruple bogey.
During the opening round of the 2017 Masters, Spieth wrote down a nine on No. 15 as well.
Spieth miraculously still made the cut during the 2017 edition of the Masters and went on to finish in a tie for 11th.
