Golf Fan POV Video of Jordan Spieth Nearly Taking His Head off Surfaces

Jordan Spieth performed excellently at the 2025 Memorial Tournament, finishing tied for 7th with a score of 1-under. However, it wasn't his result that made headlines this weekend.
As usual, the three-time major champion faced several challenging situations during the tournament, including a moment when Spieth hit a shot just over the heads of several spectators. Video of the moment quickly went viral throughout the golf world.
If the point of view of the television broadcast was frightening, it was even more so from the perspective of the fans in attendance. Video footage showing the spectators' view of the play has also surfaced, revealing the tremendous danger involved.
A user identified as MCondon posted the video on X. The footage shows fans deep in the rough, right at the edge of the fairway, and Spieth hitting the ball directly toward them at a height that could easily have hit someone's head.

In a later post, McCondon stated that the fans were deeper into the fairway but that Spieth had asked them to move back. Nevertheless, this wasn't enough, and the now-famous situation arose.
The play occured at the 490-yard par-4 hole 1 of the Muirfield Village Golf Club. As is also common for him, Spieth ended up making par on the hole.
During the Memorial Tournament, the 31-year-old carded rounds of 72, 69, 72, and 74. This earned him his fourth top-10 finish of the season.
Spieth has played in 14 events in 2025, making 12 cuts. His best finish of the year has been fourth place, which he has achieved twice, at the WM Phoenix Open and the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

However, he missed the cut at two relevant events: the Genesis Invitational and the PGA Championship.
This was also his fourth top-10 finish in 13 Memorial Tournament appearances. His best result at Muirfield Village has been a tie for third place in 2015.
His results this season keep him ranked 45th in the world, earning him a spot in next week's U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. However, he is also qualified because he won the title in 2015.

Loyal Dog Won't Leave Shelter Without Sister—Then He Realizes Something
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Hearts melted over a distressed dog's reaction to being reunited with his other half after he originally thought he was leaving the shelter without her. The previous owners of the sibling duo, Pancho and Pancha, dumped off the dogs together at a California animal shelter. From that moment on, the two never separated. Seeing how reliant the two canines were on each other, the shelter deemed these five-month-old pups a "bonded pair." A Vet Explains Pets article stated that a bonded pair of dogs form a strong, emotional attachment to each other, often through shared experiences or living in the same household. These dogs can be siblings, a parent and offspring, or simply two canines who developed a deep connection. In a May 10 Instagram video posted to the account @ the shelter first brought Pancho out to meet his foster family, but all he could think about was his sister. He frantically kept looking back at the building, crying and waiting for her. He wouldn't "budge." Thankfully, the shelter knew he wouldn't be going without Pancha, and they brought her outside quickly after. His demeanor immediately changed. The two dogs jumped up to greet each other, with their tails wagging nonstop. They realized they were staying together. Part of the caption reads: "Now they get to thrive in foster care while they wait for forever homes!" Screenshots from a May 10 Instagram video of a dog stressing out that he was being separated from his sibling, but the bonded pair stayed together in foster care.

"They really need help, all the traction they can get," the representative said. "Unfortunately, they've had no adoption interest, and we would love to change that." Viewer Reactions The Instagram video amassed over 247,000 views and 26,300 likes as of Thursday. Viewers flooded the comment section with their appreciation for the rescue organization keeping the bonded pair together. "This is so stinking adorable! It's as if Pancho feels responsible to protect his sister. The loyalty of dogs. Thank you for saving them together," wrote one person. Another added: "Gosh, bonded pairs are truly remarkable. Thank you for all you do." A third person said: "This is such great news!! So wonderful that they are being kept together - such a rare opportunity for a bonded pair of shelter dogs!!!"

Cat Who Lost All She Knew Hides in Shelter Tree, Hoping Someone Sees Her
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A 4-year-old cat named Ivy is quietly waiting for someone to notice her. But tragically, the very thing she does to feel safe is also the reason potential adopters keep passing her by. According to a Facebook post shared by the Humane Society of Broward County in Dania Beach, Florida, Ivy is "learning to navigate shelter life after spending her whole life in a loving home." However, "no one is noticing her because she's always hiding in her cat tree," states the July 1 post, which has garnered 4,200 likes. The shelter's digital marketing manager, Kaitlin Pechin, told Newsweek: "Ivy came to us after her previous owner had to leave for university and couldn't bring her along," Shelter staff describe her as a cat who "picks and chooses when she wants to play or cuddle, but when she does, it's so sweet." Two screenshots from the viral video showing a close up of Ivy's face and the cat sitting in her tree. Two screenshots from the viral video showing a close up of Ivy's face and the cat sitting in her tree. Humane Society of Broward County "Like many cats facing a major life change, Ivy was understandably shy at first. She finds comfort in her cat tree, and still spends a lot of time in it, especially when new people are around," Pechin said. "But with a little time and patience, she warms up quickly and shows off her affectionate and playful side. The staff has come to know her as gentle and sweet-natured, and she loves soft toys, treats, and petting once she feels safe. She will even curl up in your lap and purr." Ivy's behavior isn't unusual for cats trying to cope in a shelter environment. Research from the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno in the Czech Republic explains that cats can find many aspects of shelter life stressful. Being confined in cages, living near unfamiliar cats, being handled by staff, and constant changes in routine all add to their anxiety. Interestingly, research shows that shelter cats may actually crave human interaction even more than typical pet cats, so not having enough calm, predictable contact with people can also be stressful for them. Cats often enjoy playing with humans using toys and seem to prefer these interactions. Stress in animals is normal up to a point, but when it becomes excessive or persists for too long, it can harm their health and well-being. While many cats do begin to relax over time—often adjusting within two to five weeks—some never adapt fully and can remain chronically stressed for much longer. Ivy has now been at the shelter for over a month, and staff are urging adopters to see past her shyness and recognize her true, loving nature. "She may be shy at first, but it doesn't take long for her gentle, affectionate personality to come out," said the post. Many Facebook users have shared their hopes that Ivy soon finds a forever home, while also opening up about their own heartfelt experiences. One commenter said: "I adopted a cat from the shelter where I volunteer. He hid in a cat tree for a month. That is why I adopted him. When I got him home, it took about [three] weeks for him to come out of his "shell" he now runs the house and makes me laugh all the time. The most loving and funny cat I have ever known. Please, someone. Adopt this beautiful kitty. You won't regret it!" "I was in there yesterday. She came out to me, loved being pet and given treats. Then she and here roommate, Kallie started playing in and out of the cat tunnels in the room. I believe she and Kallie came in together, they are both sweet cats," said another user.
