THE RYDER CUP STAR AND MAJOR CHAMPION ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE ONE DOWN THE MIDDLE TOWARDS THE GREEN BUT HORRIBLY MISSED THE TARGET 21:03, 01 Jun 2025Updated 21:09, 01 Jun 2025 Off-target Jordan


Spieth had fans diving for cover in a frightening incident at The Memorial. The American star looked in anguish as his fierce strike whizzed towards the spectators who had edged too close to


the intended line and narrowly avoided a harrowing scenario. Spieth had missed the fairway to the right in the opening tee-shot of his final round at Muirfield Village and had to trudge


into rough for his second. Having taken aim, the Ryder Cup star and major champion attempted to drive one down the middle towards the green, but it went right out of the tricky lie and


screamed towards fans with one punter in a yellow shirt diving to the ground to the deck in evading action. Sky TV commentator Dame Laura Davies said: “I looked at those people and thought,

added: “Goodness me, I hope so. “Hopefully, everybody’s okay.” Spieth’s incident was worryingly similar to one at last month’s PGA Championship involving English star Aaron Rai. His


situation occurred during the second round of the major championship at Quail Hollow as he found himself in the rough on the 16th hole. Article continues below Rai looked to drill the ball


underneath the branches of a tree while fans stood just to the right. But it went wrong and, instead of finding his intended target, his strike slammed straight into it and came inches away


from hitting a fan in the knee with another female lucky to escape being struck as she sat on the ground to watch the shot.
