The three-time major winner's first hole on Sunday (June 1) at the Memorial nearly took a nasty turn. But everyone was fine and, of course, it ended with a par.

Starting the day five shots behind Scottie Scheffler, Spieth teed off on the par-4 1st hole but sent his drive into thick rough near a mound. As he tried to punch the ball out, it flew dangerously close to fans standing nearby. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

Spieth still managed to save par from 25 feet and then followed it up with a birdie on the 2nd. After the front nine, he was even-par for the day with two birdies and two bogeys.

One chimed in:

"Almost had to change the meaning of 'memorial' tournament"

Another wrote:

"These guys are good, but not that good. No one should be allowed to stand that close."
One echoed the sentiment, writing, "I get that these guys are pros, but it still seems crazy to me that people would even want to stand so close to the intended line - in this case basically directly in front of the player - of a golf shot."
