Jordan Spieth makes birdie after tee shot lands under garbage can

Jordan Spieth was at it again on Thursday in the first round of the John Deere Classic. Spieth’s group teed off on the 10th hole at 8:35 AM and he was 1-under by the time he stepped onto the 15th tee box. That’s when he did the most Jordan Spieth thing possible and hit his tee shot so far right it ended up on the wrong side of the cart path.

When Spieth walked up to find his ball and take his second shot he found a white flag next to a garbage can and a Michelob Ultra-branded recycling bin where patrons were supposed to put their empties. The ball had somehow ended up underneath the recycling. Thus, we got the visual of Jordan Spieth dragging both receptacles to the cart path curb like it was trash day.

It’s an incredible visual. He looks like a dad realizing his kid didn’t take out the trash and can’t decide if it’s even worth his effort to move them at this point because he’s pretty sure he already heard the truck go by.

But not Jordan Spieth. He got the OK to move the bins and then he asked just exactly how much he could move his ball. And he stepped up and hit it within a few feet. And then he made the birdie putt.

How many other golfers in the world can make birdie from underneath a garbage can?

In true Spieth fashion he then double-bogeyed the 18th. He continues to play head-scratching rounds that you cannot look away from. He’s currently even with six holes to go.
