Spectators accidentally helped Spieth escape the cut of The Players 2023
The event took place on Stadium par72 of TPC Sawgrass golf complex with round 2 on March 10. This leg, Spieth went from hole 10, took two birdies to go to -5. But the next 15 holes, the A-list star on the PGA Tour scored three bogeys and two double bogeys, bringing the score down to +2 while the expected cutoff +1.
On the 9th hole of the par5, Spieth again misfired due to a throbbing left foot. After he fired, the ball headed for the water hazard but returned to the rough on the right side of the fairway after hitting a spectator in the knee.
After the collision, Spieth was 277 yards from the flag. He used a 3 wooden club for the second shot. This shot did not reach the green, nearly eight meters from the target. But since then, the owner of three majors and 10 PGA Tour cups is still done with the chip in.
When he finished the 9th hole with an eagle, Spieth went up even par, standing at T39. Level +1 has not yet become an official filter point when round 2 has not ended because of bad weather. However, Spieth at T39 is considered to have won the next round, because the PGA Tour cut the elimination according to the principle of taking the top or T65 and the same position or around the expected filter point, only 20 players have not completed the round.
"I think the ball hit the asphalt, then hit the audience's knee. It was like hitting the green, about to hit a trap, but it turned out to be on the green by hitting the stands," Spieth said of the last hole. His speculation matches the description on the official PGA Tour page. 29-year-old Spieth, playing professionally since 2012, accumulated 26 weeks to hold the number one position in the world professional golf table.
Spieth is looking for a way to get in touch to support the "living wall" that will help him survive The Players Championship 2023 - the third time in eight appearances. When this year's cut is over, the competitor is sure to get at least $40,000, and the championship is $4.5 million.
When the PGA Tour halted round 2, the top of the table was at -8, belonging to Christiaan Bezuidenhout who had completed 14 holes and Adam Svensson had just gone through 11 holes and T3 (-6) had three hands.
On the world professional golf table, Bezuidenhout is 81st, 24 places below Svensson.
