“But that was a stretch” - Jordan Spieth and caddie Michael Greller share friendly jabs on the golf course 

American golfer Jordan Spieth and caddie Michael Greller engaged in some light-hearted banter during the second round of The Sentry 2024 at the Kapalua Plantation Golf Course on Friday, January 5.

Spieth attempted a shot on the ninth hole of the Plantation Course, but it rolled into a dense obstruction rather than into the hole.

Speith and Greller walked to the hole and the former asked if the ball was close to the hole. As they were mic'd by the PGA Tour for a live session, their conversation was heard by the broadcasters.

Greller said yes and walked away while Spieth observed the ball and took a jibe at his caddie by saying (via Golf.com):

“I appreciate your lobbying, but that was a stretch.”

Spieth then switched his putter to a 3-wood and took his shot. However, as he shot the ball, Greller said (via Golf.com):

"I think that's for sure in the fairway."

Eventually, Spieth stunned people and made a birdie.

Jordan Spieth has played admirably throughout the previous three rounds of competition. He finished with a score of under 19, two strokes behind Chris Kirk, the leader of the Saturday round, after shooting three rounds of 66, 67, and 67.

Speith shot a 7-under-66 after making nine birdies and one double bogey in the first round of the tournament. He made six birdies in the second round, scored 67, and played another round of 67 on Saturday to finish in a tie for third place with Xander Schauffele and Byeong Hun An.
