Jordan Spieth continues to prevail in the craziest ways, as the three-time major winner turned another viral errant tee shot into an impressive par on Thursday during the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

Thursday was at least the second time this month that Spieth averted potential disaster with a miraculous save on the course.
On March 10, during day two of the 2023 Players Championship, the 2015 Masters and U.S. Open champion blasted a tee shot on the 18th hole that sliced heavily right and was headed out of bounds, before ricocheting off of fan's knee into the fairway. Spieth -- who had been at two-over par and in danger of not making the cut for day three -- capitalized on the lucky bounce and eventually chipped in for an eagle to move on.
Through 14 holes on Thursday, Taylor Montgomery held a one-hole advantage on Spieth.
