Jordan Spieth is among the professionals at the star-studded field for this week’s RBC Heritage. Moreover, the three-time major championship winner played magnificent golf in his second round on Friday and made a solid finish heading into Saturday. However, the highlight of his round came on the 12th hole.

The 2022 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links is halfway through its completion after the second round on Friday. Moreover, Patrick Cantlay is the field leader after 36 holes and holds a commanding lead of two shots with an overall score of nine-under-par as he heads to the third round on Saturday. Furthermore, the American professional played exceptionally well with some crisp irons shots at the challenging golf course.

However, the 2015 FedEx Cup champion, Jordan, stole the show in the second round. Spieth made an incredible hole-out from the bunker on Friday.

Jordan Spieth hits a magical shot at the 2022 RBC Heritage

The 2015 Masters champion found himself in the greenside bunker on the par-4, 12th hole. The 28-year-old professional had a rather tough bunker shot lying ahead of him with not much green to work with and the pin relatively close to the bunker. The challenge was to make the golf ball stop quickly and, make an up and down for par.

But with a nice lie inside the bunker, he could be aggressive with his bunker shot. Furthermore, Spieth hit probably one of the most fabulous bunker shots ever, and the ball dropped at just the right spot, and Jordan saw the ball roll into the hole for an unlikely birdie.

However, this is not the only time the professional has made an incredible hole-out from greenside bunkers. He made a hole-out from the sand at the 2017 Travelers Championship playoff. He made an outstanding hole-out birdie from 60 feet to win the event on the first playoff hole against Daniel Berger. It looks like his magic around the bunker is not new.

What did Spieth shoot in his second round yesterday?

The 12-time PGA Tour winner played exceptionally well on a tough day at the golf course. He carded a round of three-under-par, 68 on Friday. Moreover, his second round of 68 featured one birdie and a single bogey on the opening nine holes. As a result, Jordan moved out in level-par, 36. Much of his scoring came on the back nine. Spieth made three birdies and rest all pars on the back nine to register a bogey-free nine holes during the final stages of his round.

Spieth is currently at an overall score of five-under-par. As a result, he is four shots back from the leader as the 2022 RBC Heritage heads into the moving day on Saturday. Can he win the event after the final round ends on Sunday?
