It’s been more than a decade since Jordan Spieth won the coveted green jacket, but the three-time major champion returned to historic Augusta National Golf Club for the 90 Masters this week.
The second round began Friday morning, with Spieth scoring even after playing the first 14 holes of the day. At the time, Spieth was five shots behind defending champion Rory McIlroy.
After shooting 72 in the first round on Thursday, Spieth birdied his first hole on Friday. He then parred the next 10 holes in a row before making bogey on the 12th. McIlroy finished the round atop the leaderboard at 12 under par.

Spieth also had a break off the tee. His drive veered deep left and appeared to head into the trees before bouncing off the fairway.
The reason? Spieth’s shot hit a Masters patron. “What a bounce,” said one commentator, according to ESPN. “I think that hit that boss in the hand.”

Spieth has a knack for taking creative, and sometimes risky, shots. At last spring’s Memorial Tournament in Ohio, an errant drive nearly hit a group of fans, although Spieth still saved par. He also surprised spectators at the CJ Byron Nelson Cup in 2024 and three years ago at the Players Championship.

Spieth even had a viral moment at Augusta National last year after accidentally hitting a customer in the groin with his putter on the way to the first tee.
