VIDEO: Jordan Spieth channels Happy Gilmore at Pro-Am
With 2015 winding to a close, Jordan Spieth treated himself to a trip to Augusta National this past weekend, before appearing at the Grapefruit Pro-Am on Sunday.
The 22-year-old put on a show for the Florida crowd, as country music star and playing partner Jake Owen captured Spieth pull off a running Happy Gilmore-esque tee shot to kick off his round.

"It was really cool holing that shot. There were more people cheering for that than my whole morning at the Bahamas," Spieth said, referring to where he played last week's Hero World Challenge, according to Craig Dolch of the TC Palm.
Spieth is not scheduled to participate in any tournaments for the rest of the 2015, ensuring he will finish his incredible calendar year with five victories.
