YOU KNOW WHAT they say: one man’s lucky bounce is another man’s, emmm, golf ball to the arse.
World number one Jordan Spieth benefited from this stroke of good fortune during his second round at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.
Spieth’s wayward tee-shot was heading for the water when it struck a spectator in the auld gluteus maximus and stopped dead, short of the hazard.
As for the commentary? ”Dear oh dear, that was nearly a plugged lie.”
Poor visibility caused by fog delayed the start of the second round, and Spieth along with playing partners Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler only managed 13 holes before the close of play.
McIlroy and Fowler are best of the trio on five-under, five shots off the pace set by leader Andy Sullivan, while Spieth is a further two shots back on three-under.
