Jordan Spieth’s version of what happened with Rory McIlroy’s controversial drop at The Players

We didn’t get a chance yesterday to ask you but but just your version of what happened in the seventh hole yesterday from your point of view I thought that um I thought it ended up in a good spot I I I only walked over there because I I

Thought he had dropped it and then he was questioning where he was dropping it so I was just trying to make sure he didn’t like play it and all everyone was good I mean I I was good with with the spot he was choosing but then I was just listening to the

Conversation to Roy and Victor and Rory had said I think it’s we think it crossed up there could have been back there so this seems like somewhere in between but then that sounds like something you probably should verify with the rules official and then he did

And it was all good just what you said people had said to you the ball had bounced below the red line is that yeah well I mean the thing is like it’s not you’re not really supposed to use anyone from the outside to say it but I was

Hearing from like TV members so I thought it was I told them when we walked off the tea that they had said that and I said I couldn’t tell because I thought it was going to land so much further that it surprised me where it dropped so I

Didn’t actually see and it was close um so I thought it was important to say that so that honestly so that he didn’t cuz they said it certainly hit above Rory and um um and Harry and uh so then because of that I was like just why

Don’t you just make sure in case they caught it cuz a lot of times you have an over head but I guess maybe not on Thursday Friday couple more did the did the 18th hole situation play into the seventh hole like you was there like a

We should really be I mean each every situation like that is their own um they’re not like the same Shots by any means so no I mean um look I think all anybody wants is for you to put the ball where it should go and in our sport

There you just get especially in a golf course like this or last week you get some situations where it can be really tricky on on knowing for sure and um you know you normally air on the safe side and then you pick where you’re virtually certain where it did cross and I think

That that’s what Rory chose on both times it certainly seemed from Rory’s point of view but there was no ongoing issue with you guys anyway he was your yeah I don’t know why I even got brought over to Media to be honest
