At the 2022 Scottish Open, Jordan Spieth had an awkward moment on the course that highlighted the trust he places in his longtime caddie, Michael Greller. On the par-three sixth hole, Spieth faced a tricky 111-yard shot amid strong winds, and despite his initial hesitation about Greller’s club selection, he reluctantly followed his advice.
Spieth was visibly doubtful, questioning whether the ball would even reach the green. However, after taking the shot, he was left stunned when the ball landed just five feet from the hole, proving Greller right once again.
This incident not only left Spieth red-faced but also reinforced the deep trust he shares with his caddie. Greller, who initially joined Spiethâs team on a short-term basis in 2013, has been by his side throughout three major championship victories.
Over the years, their partnership has thrived, with Greller often offering crucial guidance during pivotal moments on the course. The 2022 Scottish Open was just another reminder that Greller’s instincts are rarely off the mark, leaving Spieth to reflect on the value of listening to his experienced caddie.
