The Jordan Spieth Experience was on full display early on moving day at the PGA Championship.
Entering the day at 5-over-par — and just barely squeaking under the cutline — Spieth needed to make quite a run to get back in contention with the leaders at five-under.
Unfortunately, his first tee shot of the day took the idea of making a run way too literally and landed straight in the porta-potty area.

Seriously, you either have to try really hard to mess up a drive like this or suffer some horrible luck. We have to assume it’s the latter because the next shot didn’t go much better for him.
After being granted temporary immovable obstruction relief, Spieth’s second shot clipped a tree and dove straight back down to Earth, eliciting a little profanity from the golfer.

It seems a bit miraculous that this little adventure only resulted in a bogey, which Spieth would erase with a birdie on the par-4 second hole.
Because of course he did. It wouldn’t be the Jordan Spieth experience any other way.
