Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas got the Ryder Cup fun started Friday in their opening match against Euro team of Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia at Whistling Straits.
Spieth and Thomas were 2 down with 2 to go, their backs against the wall and the situation was made worse by an amazingly bad lie off the 17th green.
Spieth is known for making magic however, and with a vicious swipe through some really thick rough, he launched the ball skyward.
He quickly lost his footing and stumbled a bit down the hill so he never saw how great the shot was but he managed to land the ball about three feet from the hole.
An all-timer, for sure.

Thomas missed the ensuing putt, however, and that ended the match, as Spieth/Thomas lost 3 and 1.
