Sadly, in a surprising reveal from the former World No. 1, it turned out that Spieth has a pretty \u2018lunatic\u2019 side to himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-new-ad=\"false\" id=\"player_stn-player__Dybik\">\n<p>Watch What\u2019s Trending Now!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\"><span>\u201cFrankly, just I put in a 3-iron like two days ago and it cost me two and a half shots, the shots I hit with that club.

With all of his irons giving him a good vibe, Spieth was confused about which one to choose. Notably, right at the last moment, Spieth picked up a random club. However, he ended up regretting his choice as the two and a half shots he made with it did not work out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\"><span>Revealing his plans with the club for the future, the PGA Tour pro said, \u201cAnd so then I got to pick one, and it just \u2014 I just haven\u2019t been playing with it, so I think I\u2019m going to just go back to the hybrid.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\"><span>Meanwhile, as the story went out in public, fans shared their reactions to this insane story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=essentiallysports.com\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fans in shock as Jordan Spieth drops crazy Sony Open story<\/b><\/h2>\n<p data-athlete=\"false\"><span>As soon as Spieth\u2019s story garnered traction, fans flocked to the comments section.
