Jordan Spieth’s drive goes awry. Then a fan gets a $20, a ball and a welt
Jordan Spieth’s drive careened wildly into the gallery at the Charles Schwab Challenge, striking a fan and earning him an unusual souvenir – a $20 bill, a golf ball and a welt on his forehead.
Spieth’s tee shot on the par-4 13th hole Friday sailed right and struck the fan, who was sitting in the grandstand. Spieth immediately walked over to check on the man, who had a red mark on his forehead.
The fan, identified as John Attenweiler Sr., said he was “doing great” after being hit by the ball. “All good. $20, a ball and a welt. Can’t beat that,” Attenweiler told reporters.
