Spieth and Thomas took on each other in the challenge during a commercial shoot for Titleist. The challenge included both professionals hitting four balls with their wedges, which seemed to be a 60-degree wedge closest to the pin on to a nearby green.

Moreover, Spieth was the first to go and holed out of his chip shot. At the same time, Thomas also hit his chip-shot close but could not hold it. Moving forward with the challenge, both the professionals hit some crisp shots with the ball stopping close to the pin. However, Spieth emerged as the winner in the end as he chipped in with his last ball. As a result, he defeated his dear friend Justin Thomas.

However, this is not the only time Spieth defeated Thomas. When both were 13-years-old, they played against each other in a Junior All-Star event at Walnut Creek Country Club’s Pecan Course. Back then, Spieth defeated Justin by a whopping six-shot margin to win the event.
