The highlights were abundant. 

Three years ago, Spieth had a jaw-dropping moment when he stood on the edge of a cliff while taking a risky shot on the eighth hole at Pebble Beach during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Of course, in Spieth-esque fashion, he made par. 

However, a new video emerged of just how dangerous the attempt was and how close the three-time major winner came to falling 68 feet. 

I was there! Took this vid. Look at the cliff erosion under the grass, it’s a false edge suspended in air & Spieth has uneven footing on a down-cliff lie. It was ballsy. The aerial broadcast gives the illusion he has 1-2 feet of stable ground in front of him. Cool moment!! pic.twitter.com/jLhGk8jkcP

“That was by far the most nerve-wracking shot I’ve ever hit in my life,” Spieth said to his caddie, Michael Greller, after hitting the shot. 

Spieth might have finished runner-up that week, but people are still talking about that moment. And perhaps that will still be the case for years to come.
