WATCH: Jordan Spieth Plays the Scariest Shot of His Life at Pebble Beach Pro-Am

It looks like a little drama is always to be expected when Jordan Spieth is involved. His Saturday at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am included narrowly escaping a cliff fall, and then somehow making his way up the rankings. However, despite his score, Spieth’s shot might have been one of the scariest ones out there.

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is a fun event on PGA Tour’s schedule, with players showing off their skills and celebrities having a good time. With the Saudi International taking place simultaneously, Spieth and Patrick Cantlay are among the biggest names at Pebble Beach.

Naturally, Spieth had the spotlight on him during the event.

Spieth—given how wonderful he is—managed to save his par. While his shot off the cliff was not perfect, Spieth managed to turn it around. Of course, the experience will stay with him for a long time. Looking at the crazy shot, though, not many can (or should) replicate it.

The 28-year-old icon’s drive on the eighth hole landed near the cliff, and just barely saved itself. Spieth ran back to a safer distance the moment his club connected with the ball. And in true Spieth style, the PGA Tour icon shot nine-under 63 that day. It was almost a course record and helped him advance over 30 spots up the ranks.

Fans remained scared, questioning Spieth’s decision to take the shot. Some wondered about the tour’s policy, and how they should probably keep professionals away from such people. To some, it was a miracle that Spieth managed to turn the shot and his round around.

Spieth on his dangerous shot

While speaking ab0ut his shot, Spieth explained that while the footing was solid, he did not have much room around his left foot—which was down-sloped. Of course, this would not have been an issue if it was flat.

“It’s the downslope that worries you because you’re going to try and, you’re getting more forward to your left side on a downslope in order to get the strike, right? You want your weight with the slope,“ he explained.

Of course, he had to ask himself if it was worth it. Ultimately, he decided to go for it even though he could have gotten a strike. “If I felt like I was in real true danger of losing my life I would have pulled the ball back and dropped it. It wasn’t quite that severe,” added. That being said, there was no proper swing on the shot either.

He even revealed that his caddie (Michael Greller) really hated it and would probably just chuck the ball in water if this happened again.
