Jordan Spieth reacted like he ran over a dog after flashing his tee shot way right of the 13th fairway at Royal Birkdale.
Spieth's drive landed in the thick rough, causing a massive search by those following the final group.
However, no one wanted to find it more than the volunteer in the yellow jacket:

Spieth would take an unplayable, and after significant time trying to find the proper line, would take his drop on the practice tee.

The 23-year-old elected to hit a long iron, which finished just shy of the front greenside bunker.

Spieth would pitch his fourth to eight feet and make bogey, handing the lead over to Matt Kuchar.
It took exactly 30 minutes to play the hole.
