Jordan Spieth's errant tee shot hits Masters patron, golf star apologizes with signed glove

It's the most wonderful time of the year for all golf fans, as The Masters tournament rolls around once again! This year's event at Augusta feels especially wide open, with many contenders eyeing a major championship.

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 90th Masters this week.

The second round got underway Friday morning, with Spieth scoring at even par after he played the first 14 holes of the day. At the time, Spieth trailed defending champion Rory McIlroy by five shots.

After shooting 72 in Thursday’s opening round, Spieth birdied his first hole Friday. He then parred the next 10 holes in a row before bogeying No. 12. McIlroy ended the round at top of the leaderboard at 12-under par.

Spieth also caught a break off the tee. His drive veered deep left and appeared headed for the trees before ricocheting back into the fairway.

The reason? Spieth’s shot struck a Masters patron. "What a bounce," a commentator said, per ESPN. "I think that hit that patron’s hand."
