“Jordan Spieth’s Caddie Applauded for Calm Demeanor During Frustrating Round”

Jordan Spieth sparked attention at the Memorial Tournament after ignoring caddie Michael Greller’s advice and executing a bold 115-yard sh jjot from deep rough. His decision followed a frustrating start, marked by early bogeys.

Despite Greller’s push for a safer chip-out, Spieth insisted on a riskier play, citing recent bad luck on otherwise solid shots. The three-time major winner’s gamble paid off, landing cleanly on the fairway and leading to his first birdie of the round.

The moment, which went viral, highlighted Spieth’s aggressive style and Greller’s steady presence. Spieth admitted post-round that Greller was probably right—but the result reignited his momentum en route to a solid opening score.
