Even when Jordan Spieth put himself in bad positions on the back nine on Sunday at the Dean & DeLuca Invitational, he found ways to make birdies.
On the 17th hole, with a one-shot lead over Harris English, Spieth tugged an iron off the tee left into the gallery. He got a kick off of a marshall back into the rough towards the fairway, but launched his approach over the green, short-sided, off of a flier lie.
Then, he did this.

Spieth's reaction was his own version of the Jordan shrug. He could only toss his club away and chuckle at his own touch around the green. Only he could make that shot.
Two-stroke lead. One to play.

His playing partner Ryan Palmer laughed at the ridiculous nature of Spieth's chip-in as well, and poor Harris English, who was in the fairway on the 18th trailing Spieth by a shot prior to the chip-in, could only stare back at the green in stunned silence as the gallery erupted.

There was nothing English could do about it. Sunday was simply Spieth's day.
