Spieth, Berger put on a show at Travelers
It felt like Jordan Spieth was in complete control Sunday at the Travelers Championship, but then Daniel Berger entered the picture.
The drama began at the par-4 15th hole when Berger went way right of the fairway off the tee, but recovered with a delicate chip shot, and then stroked home the birdie putt to climb into a tie for the lead.
Not to be outdone, Spieth followed up a bogey at No. 14 by making a wild birdie at 15 to regain the lead. After both made routine pars on the par-3 16th hole at TPC River Highlands, Berger fired back with a picture-perfect birdie on 17, jumping back into a tie with the Texan at 12-under par.
The pair both found the greenside bunker on the home hole, and each were able to save par, meaning a playoff was needed to settle the tournament.
On the first extra hole, Spieth again dumped his second shot in the sand, but this time the putter wasn't needed.
"It's Jordan doing Jordan things," Berger told Dottie Pepper of CBS after the loss.
