"Oh, God. I couldn’t pick a worse person to hit into.”

While the director’s extended cut sleeps with the fishes thanks to PGA Tour takedown efforts, a truncated version was farmed out to Skratch (embed below). Either way, we have two things to savor from Saturday’s fun involving Jordan Spieth hitting into Rory Sabbatini.
—No one was injured after Jordan Spieth accidentally hit into Rory Sabbatini, who is notoriously not shy about highlighting behavior he hates. Should be a fun morning on the range Sunday!
—The director’s extended cut of this “Every Shot Live” instant classic sleeps with the fishes thanks to PGA Tour takedown efforts. However, plenty saved it prior to the Global Home’s censorship division doing what they do best. Transcripts coming! Creep factor is off-the-charts!
Anyhow, Michael Bamberger summed up the scene here in the Big Brother world of modern pro golf:
As best you can hear on the video, somebody, likely Spieth, offers a full-throated “Fore right!” After a little back-and-forth chat on the tee, Spieth says, “Is that Sabbatini? Oh, God. I couldn’t pick a worse person to hit into.”
The observation was funny because it was true. Also, because it narrowed the divide between them and us. Who among us hasn’t done and said something right along the same lines?
Spieth and his third-round playing partner, Collin Morikawa, offered some more personal observations. Everyday stuff, really, except boom mics at PGA Tour stops seem to be more sensitive and on more often than they ever have been before. (Ask Spieth’s buddy, Justin Thomas.)
Earlier this week the Global Home texted a prescient reminder to players about hot-mic possibilities this week.
