Jordan Spieth has done it again. The American was already known for his outstanding short game in the early stages of his career. Now he saves himself from an awkward situation on the infamous par 3 ‘Postage Stamp’ in round 4 of The Open Championship 2024 thanks to his fine touch with the wedge.

The final day begins for Jordan Spieth with a few birdies and a small chase to catch up on the leaderboard. Three birdies already adorn the scorecard and Spieth only had to record one bogey up to the eighth hole. However, the ‘Postage Stamp’ with its only around 108 metres is neither a safe par nor an easy birdie opportunity. The green is narrow and the pot bunkers are a danger that several stars have faced in recent days. After a mis-hit tee shot on the short par 3, Spieth lay in the wet rough to the right of the narrow green. But with a chip, which has long been a trademark of the American, Spieth skilfully plays his way out of the tricky situation. From around 20 metres, he holed over a bunker and out of the rough of the Royal Troon for birdie.
