Jordan Spieth just doing Jordan Spieth things on day one at The CJ Cup.
Jordan Spieth hit the greatest flop shot we have seen on the PGA Tour this year when holing out for birdie from being short-sighted on the par-3 11th.
With the commentators wondering how Spieth was going to hold the green, let alone get his ball up-and-down for par, the short-game wizard stepped in and produced a moment of magic.
Spieth flopped his ball over the bunker and landed it on a six pence as the ball slammed into the pin and down for a birdie-two. (video below)
“Is that Jordan Spieth to a T right there or what?” Byrum said on the broadcast.
“Us mere mortals are worried about either skulling it into the water, dumping it into the bunker — he makes it,” analyst Trevor Immelman said.
“What a shot,” Byrum said on the broadcast. “Way to take some guts, with water on the other side of this green right there staring you in the face.”
“He knew it, too,” Immelman said. “You see the club twirl after that? He knew it came out perfect.”

As the ball clattered against the pin and went down, Spieth shook his head while looking down at the grooves on his wedge.
The three-time major champion is rightly considered one of the best short-game exponents in the world.
You may recall Spieth did the unthinkable at the Ryder Cup last month.
Justin Thomas found the deep rough with his tee shot on the 17th hole in the foursomes, leaving Spieth with a sideways shot off a hill.
With TV cameras struggling to even pick up the ball, Spieth stepped in and thrashed at the ball, popping it up beautifully down to six feet, while running down the hill having been put off balance during the strike.
