Jordan Spieth finding way to pop Augusta’s Carolina Cherry

Jordan Spieth might have found a new way to finish the front nine at the Masters. He’s just worried about trying it when anyone is looking.

It was during a practice round one year that Spieth reached the tee on the 460-yard ninth hole and noticed an opening in the trees left of the tee. It was large enough to consider going down the first fairway. He figures now he has tried this unconventional route a half-dozen times.

“In practice rounds, and times I’ve just been messing around, there’s a hole where you can do down 1, and it gets all the way to the flat,” Spieth said. “And then the angle into the green, it’s just tier-tier-tier.”
