VIDEO: Jordan Spieth Calling Out His Caddie on National Television is Completely Classless
By Thomas Carannante
Golf fans are no stranger to Jordan Spieth's temper. He wears his emotions on his sleeve at times when things aren't going his way, but there's a line to draw in that department. Calling out your caddie on national television is crossing that line. You're a professional golfer. Have some professionalism.
Jordan Spieth just completely called out his caddie on national TV. Whether the caddie misjudged it or not, that's a bush league move. At the end of the day, you're the one hitting the golf ball.#USOpen pic.twitter.com/lFSYQSGrvR

He didn't get you in the water or over the green, bud. You're the golfer, the ball is coming off your club. A caddie's advice isn't the main determinant of where your shot is going. It's an incredibly cheap way to scapegoat someone.
Beyond the mere commentary being out of line, the fact Spieth is aware TV cameras and mics are on him at ALL times during the U.S. Open makes this even worse. Did you really think this wouldn't be picked up?
Also, this is the guy that helped you win THREE majors by the age of 23. Even if he's OK being spoken to in this manner, it's a terrible look to be caught on TV doing it.
