Heartbreaking to watch your shot leave the bunker only to go all the way around the the outside of it, and then back in as Jordan Spieth’s did on a Postage Stamp bunker.

We knew going into the Open Championship at Royal Troon that the greenside bunkers on the Par 3 Postage Stamp were tough. The slope on the one Spieth found himself in slopes in towards the bunker.
Well he didn’t hit it far enough, so the ball, almost comically, touched all the edges and looked like water flushing down a toilet.
Spieth would end up with a double-bogey 5 on the Par 3 8th.
