Jordan Spieth surprised himself with first PGA Tour start of 2024
Spieth ended up finishing two strokes behind an emotional Chris Kirk at Kapalua’s Plantation Course on Sunday.
The American had to endure multiple stumbling blocks along the way.
First, his golf ball came to rest alongside Harris English’s on the par-5 15th so he had to mark and move it. After English played his shot, Spieth was presented with a shocking lie.
At 16, his ball plugged under the lip of a fairway bunker. To make matters worse, his Titleist Pro V1x came to rest in another divot at the 17th.
