Hear Jordan Spieth’s caddie describe the “absolute chaos” of that crazy 13th hole at the British Open

Richard Heathcote/R&ASOUTHPORT, ENGLAND – JULY 23: Jordan Spieth of the United States and caddie Michael Greller discuss the playing line for his third shot on the 13th hole during the final round of the 146th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale on July 23, 2017 in Southport, England. (Photo by Richard Heathcote/R&A/R&A via Getty Images)Whenever the first Jordan Spieth biopic comes out, what happened on Royal Birkdale's 13th hole during the final round of the 146th British Open will feature prominently. The strange and somewhat miraculous bogey kept the young star in contention and set off a brilliant four-hole stretch that earned him a third major before his 24th birthday. How that hole played out has been discussed at length already, but this is the best account of it that we've heard so far. And not surprisingly, it came from the other half of Team Spieth.

Miraculous bounce leads to new world record for longest drive

Long-drive competitor Phillis Meti lost in the finals of last night's televised “Mile High Showdown.” But Meti left Denver with something better than a victory: a new world record.
In her semifinal match, Meti carried her tee ball 340 yards, a distance that's ho-hum in these type of events. However, it appears Meti's ball makes contact with a marker or sprinkler head, shooting the rock forward 60 yards.
The drive, finishing at 406 yards, counted as a new world record for longest women's drive.
Troy Mullins defeated Meti in the finals with a 374-yard bomb, with Meti “only” able to muster a drive of 363 yards.

(Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/Getty Images)The PGA Tour goes north this week for its only stop in Canada, the RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario. First played in 1904, it's the third oldest continuously running tournament on the PGA Tour, behind only the Open Championship and U.S. Open. In its 113-year history it's crowned some great champions and provided memorable moments, none more memorable than Tiger Woods' six-iron from a fairway bunker on the 72nd hole, leading to his victory in 2000. This week should be another exciting one, with world no. 1 Dustin Johnson in the field, along with Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar, fresh off his runner-up finish at the Open Championship. Defending champion Jhonattan Vegas is also in the field.
