Justin Thomas is looking out for his friend.
At last year’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, Jordan Spieth incurred a strange penalty you simply don’t see from a PGA Tour player. He and Henrik Stenson played from the wrong tee box on the par-5 ninth hole. Even with multiple signs informing players that the tee boxes had been moved up from the previous rounds, the duo didn’t see it and played from the wrong tee box.
They were informed of the mistake, went back to the correct tee and re-hit their shots, taking a two-shot penalty.
Thomas, who’s close friends with Spieth, posted a hilarious video on Twitter trying to make sure that mistake didn’t happen again.
Just want to make sure @JordanSpieth tees off the correct tee box this year… pic.twitter.com/Utnr2BHWBC
