“This is incredible theatre” – PGA Tour winner has a laugh at Jordan Spieth’s pre-shot exchange with his caddie at Memorial

Canadian professional golfer and one-time PGA Tour winner Adam Hadwin reacted to a smart shot from Jordan Spieth during the opening round of the 2025 Memorial Tournament. In the first round of the event, held on Thursday, May 29, at the Muirfield Village Golf Club, on the fifth hole, Spieth played his first shot on the par 5 hole, but the ball hit a tree and unfortunately bounced backward.

He then had a long conversation with his caddie, Michael Greller, to decide on how to hit the ball. Fore Play shared a video of Jordan Spieth's conversation with his caddie, and later Adam Hadwin reshared the clip on his X (formerly Twitter) account, with the caption:

"This is incredible theatre… “I don’t want to hit it there”!!!"

Jordan Spieth showcased his skills to make his first birdie of the round on the hole. He started the game with two back-to-back bogeys on the first two holes but then managed to have some decent shots in the mid-round.

He made a birdie on the fifth and then on the seventh, followed by a bogey on the eighth. On the back nine, he carded a bogey on the 12th and two birdies on the 13th and 14th for an even-par 72.
