‘I actually cried’: Jordan Spieth’s caddie reveals 1 regret that still haunts him

Caddie Michael Greller has shared countless memorable moments with PGA Tour star Jordan Spieth, including three major championships and 13 career victories. However, despite their successes, some losses still weigh heavily on Greller, particularly one from the 2015 Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Reflecting on his career during an appearance on *The Scoop* with Claire Rogers, Greller revealed his biggest regret—a decision made during Spieth’s bid for a third consecutive major title that year. On the 18th hole of the final round, Spieth came up short with his approach shot, leaving a nearly impossible birdie putt and ultimately missing a spot in the playoff. Greller admitted he wishes he had advised Spieth to play it safer, aiming for a more manageable position on the green.

The emotional toll of that moment remains vivid for Greller, who described his reaction to the loss as deeply personal. “I actually cried after that one I was so upset,” he said, acknowledging the magnitude of what was at stake. Spieth had already claimed victories at the Masters and U.S. Open earlier that year, putting him in contention to achieve a historic sweep of the season’s majors. Although Spieth later secured a second-place finish at the PGA Championship, the missed opportunity at St. Andrews lingers as a “what if” moment in their shared career. For Greller, it underscores the emotional highs and lows that come with working alongside one of golf’s greats.
