His ball, hit at a speed of 139 miles per hour, landed just in front of the green and then bounced off it to roll a distance of about 50 feet.
Having played 139 (-9) in the first two rounds, Spieth achieved his third such feat in his career. It was also Bay Hill’s first hole-in-one for Bay Hill’s second flag in 13 years at the tournament.
