It goes without saying that if you attend any golf event in person, you better have your head on a swivel. Errant shots and errant drives hit fans all the time on the PGA Tour and on the LIV Tour. Most of the time fans come away with very minor injuries, thankfully. On Friday in the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, Jordan Spieth sprayed his drive to the right, accidentally hitting a fan on the elbow in the process. The ball bounced off the fan and into the fairway. Once he came up the fairway and saw what happened, Spieth signed a ball for the fan and gave them some cash for some beer.
Here’s a picture of the fan with the cash that Spieth also gave him for beers following the lucky bounce.
It’s good the fan was a good sport about it, and nobody was seriously hurt. Not only that, but the fan also has the story of a lifetime to tell.
