Despite his caddie Michael Greller telling him to seriously consider whether to take it on, Spieth stepped in without a minimum of fuss and played a miraculous shot over the back of the green, while instantly running back away to safety.
Spieth then played a delightful chip to inside of 20 feet and then buried the putt for one of the greatest par saves of his PGA Tour career.
It would also contribute to a superb 9-under 63 to vault him into contention for the title in the final round.
After the round, Spieth did admit to regretting the shot, especially after seeing the drone footage - READ MORE HERE
Spieth moved to the front of the leaderboard in the final round but unfortunately was pipped to the winning post by US compatriot Tom Hoge, who landed his maiden PGA Tour title.
