Jordan Spieth makes long birdie chip from off No. 3 green
Jordan Spieth is the defending Open champion. On Friday, his defense included what could be the shot of the day, at least so far.
Spieth was off the green on hole No. 3 yet somehow chipped in for birdie, getting a perfect bounce off the mound before the shot rolled in for a birdie.
