Masters: Spieth's Luck of the Bounce Strikes a Fan

The Masters tournament is underway, with Jordan Spieth competing at Augusta National. In the second round on Friday, Spieth experienced an unusual moment when his drive veered left and struck a spectator. The ball ricocheted off the patron's hand, returning to the fairway, a bounce commentator's noted as lucky. Spieth paused to check on the spectator before continuing his round. He later expressed his gratitude by presenting the patron with a signed glove. This incident comes after Spieth's history of striking spectators with errant shots in previous tournaments. Despite the close call, Spieth finished the second round at 1-over par, placing him tied for 32nd, while Rory McIlroy led the tournament at 12-under par.
