Jordan Spieth’s ‘toilet’ shot at the PGA Championship 2023

Jordan Spieth's toilet shot kicked off the morning round of the 2023 PGA Championship on Saturday. The American golfer hit a stroke, and the ball landed in a toilet. Although he was granted TOI relief, he was still 251 yards away from the hole.

He then fired a second shot, which hit trees, but luckily the ball landed on the ground. He bogeyed the first hole before birdieing the second in the third round of the 2023 PGA Championship.

The PGA Tour posted about Jordan Spieth's toilet shot, and the comments section was swamped with praise and ridicule for the golfer.

Jordan Spieth carded two bogeys and a birdie at the start of the third round. He has been struggling with his wrist injuries, and that has heavily impacted his performance in the major tournament.

Jordan Spieth's odds at the 2023 PGA Championship

Jordan Spieth is having a hard time at the 2023 PGA Championship. His wrist injury ahead of the major tournament forced him to struggle with the game at the tournament. However, he still played well and made the projected cut of +5.

Although it's difficult for him to win the tournament, he is looking for a better finish. According to CBS, Spieth's odds of winning the 2023 PGA Championship are around +150000. He has a better chance to finish in the top 30, but only if Spieth improves his game in the third round.

Scottie Scheffler, the last year's Masters winner, stays at the top of the odds list to win the event, followed by Viktor Hovland and Corey Conners.

Interestingly, the LIV golfers are also playing well and have the chance to clinch the trophy.
