Jordan Spieth’s trick shot leaves young fans wanting s’mores
Jordan Spieth’s poise, his game and, uh, his hairline – sorry, Jordan! – don’t suggest someone of only 22 years of age, but that he is. Not so long ago, Spieth was just a kid.
So he knows how to put on a good show for the youngsters who now look up to him as a golf idol. During a clinic Tuesday leading up to Thursday’s start of the AT&T Byron Nelson Championship, Spieth teed up a trick shot that seemed darn-near impossible.
Well, for anybody but Spieth. We’re not even sure how the Dallas native came up with this idea, but clearly he’s had it in his bag of tricks for a while. He placed a marshmallow on top of a golf ball, hit the golf ball sending the marshmallow sailing high into the air. Spieth then makes like a receiver tracking down bomb, and he makes the catch with his mouth.
Just watch.

With any luck this weekend, Spieth will hear the same roar from the crowd as he makes his way to the 72nd hole for the win.
