Jordan Spieth sparked online frenzy after a bizarre incident during the final round of the Masters, accidentally flicking his putter into a patron’s groin. The man, later identified as Spieth’s manager Jay Danzi, bent over in visible pain.
The incident occurred as Spieth walked between holes, greeting fans with fist bumps. In the process, his putter swung forward and struck Danzi. Spieth, seemingly unaware, continued walking without acknowledging the moment.
A clip of the moment quickly went viral, with mixed fan reactions. Some speculated it was intentional, while others found it humorous. It added to a week of notable headlines for the former champion.
Earlier, Spieth made waves by criticizing the impact of ‘mud balls’ at Augusta. Breaking club etiquette, he blamed them for poor iron play. He urged organizers to address the issue, citing its significant effect on tournament outcomes.
