Spieth hits fan with drive, apologizes with signed ball

Related Topics: Jordan Spieth, July 29

Springfield, N.J. – Jordan Spieth got it going on Friday at the PGA Championship. After starting the day five shots back, the two-time major champ quickly rose up the standings, going out in 32 and pulling within a shot of the lead.

But on par-5 18th (his ninth hole of the day), things got a little tricky after his drive sailed right, into a crowd, struck a fan and eventually stopped rolling underneath a chair.

Had this been "Happy Gilmore," Spieth would've been forced to play it as it lies, even if the ball had landed on Frankenstein's fat foot.
