Golf commentators forced to apologise after furious Jordan Spieth moment at Open

Jordan Spieth dragged a shot from the tee of the tenth hole at Troon, prompting an unsavoury outburst, which commentators were forced to apologise for in an awkward moment

Jordan Spieth’s fit of rage at Royal Troon on Friday left Golf commentators scrambling to apologise after an expletive from the American golfer was accidentally aired.

The 30-year-old from Dallas, Texas, struggled through his second round at Royal Troon and carded a score of +3. He made the cut but was some way behind the leader, Shane Lowry.

However, Spieth has been no stranger to mistakes in his current round at Troon, slicing far right onto the railway tracks bordering the tenth hole. Visibly frustrated by his effort while attempting to guard an even score, Spieth crumbled downwards with a tight grip on his driver while yelling:

The Sky [UK] Golf commentary team were quick to apologise for the passionate yet foul language that viewers of the Open Championship coverage may have heard. Spieth would manage to recover from the shot to give himself a sniff at par from seven feet, but would ultimately miss to drop to +1 in frustrating fashion.

Things went from bad to worse for Spieth on the eleventh hole, when he shanked another tee shot out of bounds to force a drop shot. He putted from the fringe of the green for a bogey but ultimately ended up with a double after failing to make the mark, giving him an overall round score of +3 so far.
