Jordan Spieth was not officially keeping score at the Maridoe Samaritan Fund Invitational at Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton, Texas, so he certainly wasn't going to miss the chance to say he notched a hole-in-one.

As Brentley Romine of Golf Channel explained, Spieth hit the plastic social-distancing spacer placed inside the cup with his tee shot on the par-three 17th hole, which caused his ball to fly off it and into the water.

"I'm going to count it," Spieth said, even though his opponents scored it as a double-bogey.
