Spieth’s tee shot was headed into the water before his ball hit a fan and ricocheted back onto the fairway, according to the Professional Golf Association.

“It likely would have made the difference in Spieth making the cut,” wrote PGA Tour in a post to social media.

Spieth later finished comfortably inside the cutline at even par, stated PGA. He also made sure to check on the fan and even gave him a glove.

The fan, later identified as Matt who is a 23-year Marine from Colorado Springs, was gifted a signed flag and tickets for him and his friends for the rest of the weekend’s golf tournament.

“Literally whatever he wants this weekend,” Spieth told PGA Tour. “Everything from here on out is because it hit him.”
