‘The hardest loss’ – Jordan Spieth caddie moved to tears by the one moment he wants back

**The Hardest Loss: Jordan Spieth’s Caddie Reflects on a Painful Moment** Jordan Spieth has enjoyed a career most golfers can only dream of. With three major championships, two Ryder Cup victories, and 13 PGA Tour wins, his achievements have cemented his place in the annals of golf history.

By his side through all the triumphs and tribulations has been his loyal caddie, Michael Greller, who began carrying Spieth’s bag in 2011. Together, they’ve navigated unforgettable highs and crushing lows. Among those challenging moments, Greller recently recounted one loss that still weighs heavily on him: the 2015 Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Spieth, who had already claimed the Masters and U.S. Open earlier that year, stood tied for the lead with two holes to play at golf’s most storied venue. A win would have positioned him for an unprecedented third consecutive major. However, a crucial decision on the 18th hole proved costly. Greller reflected on the moment when Spieth’s aggressive gap-wedge shot fell short, rolling back down the green and leaving an impossible birdie putt..

“If I had to re-do it, I’d change that decision,” Greller admitted. The sting of coming so close to a playoff—and potentially a third major—left him in tears. Reflecting on Spieth’s near-flawless year, Greller lamented how close they were to history. “He wasn’t far from winning all four majors,” he said. For both Spieth and his caddie, the loss remains a poignant reminder of the fine margins that define greatness in golf.
