Jordan Spieth Goes Full-On 'Happy Gilmore' at Pro-Am Event

On Sunday, the world’s top golfer (Jordan Spieth) imitated the world’s favorite fictional golfer (Happy Gilmore).

And it was awesome.

Spieth was participating in the 70th Grapefruit Pro-Am in Florida, though he wasn’t playing for the kill. Here’s how Jeff Babineau of Golfweek described the video above:

In a matter of seconds, Spieth showed how “serious” he would be taking this day. Hedgecock barely had introduced his name when Spieth opened with a running Happy Gilmore tee shot that found its way into a pond. Regardless, he smiled like a kid who'd just gotten a new bike.
