Jordan Spieth has made many incredible birdies throughout his career. Add this one Thursday at the Memorial Tournament to the list.
With his back facing the hole on the par-4 sixth at Muirfield Village, Spieth hit the perfect 180-degree putt from outside 62 feet.

Those 62 feet measured in a straight line, which this putt definitely did not take. The ball took so long to find the hole, Spieth was there to greet it when it did.
“I did hit the putt a couple times [in practice], and I hit it poorly, like, twice yesterday from a little different place but pretty close. I was just trying to get the right speed. On those putts, I walk up and try to find where the fall line is on top and, you know, see a pitch mark or something where my ball needs to essentially roll around,” Spieth said after his round.
“So I hit the putt kind of around where I wanted to, and I thought it was maybe a foot or so short overall, and as it kept going down I’m, like, it might get there. It’s at the hole. And then it fell off the side of the lip, which was nice.”
That was one of two birdies Spieth had in an opening 71. At 1 under, he’s four off the early lead.
