The Ryder Cup was a bit challenging for Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
The Americans were facing some issues on the 17th hole of the course, as Thomas’ shot landed in the rough, Spieth was faced with having to get onto the green.
In the process, Spieth actually fell backward and started falling towards Lake Michigan.

It was a great shot, and in the end, Spieth didn’t get soaked, so kudos all around. The pair still lost, but it was a valiant effort.
