Like our own Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth appears to be coming into form just in time the run of majors in the summer.

Spieth was playing in the Dean & Deluca Invitational in Texas and, again like McIlroy, recorded his first tournament win in several months in front of his home fans.

He closed with six birdies over his final nine holes, but it was the one on the seventeenth in particular that will be shown again and again.

He had got himself in a little trouble earlier in the hole, but chipped in from just off the green to nail an astonishing birdie.

Spieth didn’t even celebrate initially – he just seemed stunned it had gone in.

Golf fans loved the shot, and loved his reaction even more.

And it was by no means his only great finish of the day.
