US EditionJordan Spieth Ignores Caddie's Smart Advice and Makes Birdie From Rough at Memorial
- Jordan Spieth made a birdie from the rough on the fifth hole during his even-par 72 round at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village on May 30, 2025.
- Spieth faced a difficult lie about 115 yards from the fairway with the ball caught in the first cut, and he chose to ignore his caddie Michael Greller's advice to chip out.
- Despite the poor lie, Spieth hit his third shot from 128 yards to 25 feet below the hole and holed the putt, demonstrating his confidence in making par if he reached the fairway.
- Spieth said, "It's really hard to get me to chip out," adding, "and I made birdie," but also remarked that birdie "doesn't help the whole cause" after his hard-earned round.
- Spieth's performance showed resilience amid challenging conditions, reflecting his long-term partnership with caddie Greller since 2011 and his struggle with shots that have "gotten absolutely boned" so far.
