Spieth hits the pin at the worst possible time
Yes golfers, there is such a thing as a bad time to hit the pin.
This was the bad break from which Jordan Spieth needed some time to recover before going to win the Australian Open at Royal Sydney.
After a couple of early birdies, the world No.5 was right in the mix until a bunker shot ended with nothing but pain.

Spieth, one of the best bunker players in the world, looked to have play one shot from a sand trap a little past the pin.
Maybe he was trying to spin it back, but either way he was left to shake his head and throw his hat after his ball smashed into the pin and rolled back off the green.
The result on the hole was a bogey and momentum was gone.
But as all greats do, Spieth hit back and won the tournament.
