Jordan Spieth faces an uphill battle in his quest to become the sixth golfer to achieve a career Grand Slam, but where he looked for several minutes Friday to have canceled his chances to win the PGA Championship, the former Longhorn somehow saved himself a bogey on the 10th hole.

Here's riveting Youtube video of Spieth, who won three tournaments while playing one season for Texas in 2001-'12 before turning professional, wanking a tee shot right and many more bad things.

He dropped twice and then placed his ball in a preferred spot that he had groomed before screw-driving his second shot into more pine straw, hitting his third shot off a tree limb, threading his fourth just shy of a bunker, and then chipping close and putting for bogey on what could’ve been a quadruple if not worse.

It’s not like Spieth hasn’t played remarkable golf before.

There was the British Open.

Where he had some help.

This Dallas native seems to have a good idea what he’s doing, even if occasionally things or shots go astray.
