The video was also shared by Golf Digest on Twitter. In the comments section, a fan joked about Jordan Spieth's 'giving a half sandwich to a fan' moment.

Another fan wrote that they were 'Spiethless' (or speechless) as the ball didn't go inside the hole.
On PGA Tour's Instagram post, fans flooded the comments section with their astonishment, questioning how the ball did not go in. Some even questioned if Jordan Spieth bit his club while some felt that the golfer has missed such holes several times in his career.
