Jordan Spieth might have had the unluckiest final round of all at the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2023. The American golfer missed a putt by 'millimeters' that sent fans into a frenzy on the internet.

The PGA Tour shared a video on Instagram, showing Spieth driving the ball gently with his putter which stops right at the corner of the hole.

The video was also shared by Golf Digest on Twitter. In the comments section, a fan joked about Jordan Spieth's 'giving a half sandwich to a fan' moment.

"Probably should have ate the second half of that sandwich," the fan wrote.

Another fan wrote that they were 'Spiethless' (or speechless) as the ball didn't go inside the hole.
