Jordan Spieth obliges cheeky autograph hunter that left PGA Tour security fuming
Jordan Spieth was one PGA Tour pro who reportedly found this amusing.
Jordan Spieth appears to be one of several PGA Tour pros who enjoyed the irony of this cheeky autograph hunter.
Ahead of this week's Memorial at Jack's place, one fan spotted a sign informing spectators that particular designated area was not for pestering players.

This person was Reddit user db_banner, who revealed they had been thinking of nabbing the sign all morning. Eventually, they were given one.
According to db_banner, a security guard took notice and 'made a big deal about it'.
So much so, said security guard reportedly got people 'higher up' to figure out how they got it after phoning it in!

Apparently, the other players who obliged with their John Hancock were the aforementioned Spieth, Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick, Aaron Rai, Ben An and PGA Tour rookie Akshay Bhatia.
It doesn't come as a surprise that Spieth appears to have obliged, given the number of hilarious exchanges he's had with fans over the years.
Earlier in the year, he overheard two chatty spectators in Hawaii gambling over whether he would make a putt.
Spieth remained entirely polite throughout the exchange.
