Jordan Spieth's caddie might never hear the end of this one.

Playing out of a high-lipped fairway bunker on the second hole, Spieth barely got the ball over the lip, only to have it hit a rake and get knocked down.

''Oh, it hit the rake. Oh, there's a rake there,'' Spieth said. ''Got over the lip and hit the rake.''

Caddie Michael Greller responded: ''There is a rake there.''

Spieth saved bogey with a 5 and dropped to 1 under for the tournament.

On Thursday, Spieth laid into Greller for suggesting the wrong club on a couple of shots.

Producers on the Fox telecast have taken to putting ''Caddie: Michael Greller'' on the graphic when they flash Spieth's score before he hits a shot.

Caddies are responsible for raking bunkers, though clearly neither Spieth nor Greller could see the rake on No. 2, which was buried in deep fescue grass on the top.
