Spieth gifts 3-iron from famous 13th hole to Royal Birkdale
It remains the most memorable moment from the 146th Open Championship.
After a horrible tee shot at the par-4 13th hole on Sunday at Royal Birkdale in July, Jordan Spieth took 20 minutes to find a place to properly drop his ball. He'd eventually drop on the driving range, and then used a 3-iron to hit his third shot just shy of the putting surface.
Such great theater. #TheOpen pic.twitter.com/HPyVFEgaXf

The Texan somehow made bogey on the hole en route to a spectacular finish, beating Matt Kuchar for the Claret Jug. On Wednesday, the 24-year-old signed and sent the Titleist 718 T-MB 3-iron back to Royal Birkdale Golf Club as a gift.
Special delivery to the club today.No ordinary 3 Iron (No visible ill effects of playing from the range!)Many Thanks @JordanSpieth #TheOpen pic.twitter.com/3QAvWCWu4J
