The third leg of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs, the BMW Championship, got underway Thursday at Conway Farms in Lake Forest, Illinois. While weather was a factor during round one, former Texas standout Jordan Spieth provided some early fireworks on his second hole of the day.
On the 196-yard, par-3, Spieth launched a 7-iron from the tee and watched his ball bounce off a patch of rough before landing on the green and rolling into the cup. Initially, Spieth didn’t think he got enough of the ball, which you can hear him say in the video. But based on the end result, I’d say he underestimated himself.
