Jordan Spieth started poorly but finished as good as anyone could ever hope to, playing his fnal five holes in 5 under to win The Open, the third leg of the career grand slam.
Social media was on fire the entire afternoon, starting when Spieth flipped the switch on No. 14 and continuing long after he had clinched his third major championship.
Here’s some of the best tweets from those watching the action at Royal Birkdale:

Incredible entertainment this last few hours of golf. Little bit of everything. Nerves, errant shots, short misses, rules chaos, brilliance.
