It hasn’t been a great start to the weekend for Jordan Spieth at the 2023 U.S. Open.
While many of his competitors put up comically low scores during Round 1 on Thursday at the Los Angeles Country Club, Spieth shot just 2-over. He was slightly better with a 1-over score on Friday, but he still sits two strokes below the projected cut line of 1-over.
Spieth is a four-time major champion, but he’s looking for his first since 2017. With that wait likely to continue beyond this weekend, Spieth let his frustrations get the best of him.

After hitting a bad shot during the Par 5 eighth hole during Round 2 on Friday, Spieth was hoping his shot would land in the bunker to give him a better out.
Instead, it landed in the rough to the right of the bunker, setting up a tough shot. Spieth was not pleased, to say the least, and the broadcast caught his reaction in all its splendor.

We’ve all been there. Unfortunately for Spieth, so was a hot mic.
Ironically, Spieth’s chip on the subsequent shot hit the pin, and he managed to birdie the hole. It was one of just four birdies that he recorded in Round 2.
Isn’t golf funny sometimes?
