Overzealous Spieth fan takes hilarious tumble
All this bloke wanted to do was congratulate Jordan Spieth on his British Open triumph.
Instead he made a complete fool of himself.
Video has emerged of the moment an overzealous fan reached out to high-five Spieth but ended up falling on his face as the American golfer was celebrating his third career major.
The fan toppled over a picket fence that was placed to keep fans back, sending Spieth scurrying out of the way.
To his credit the fan did see the funny side despite going viral for all the wrong reasons.
Spieth denied fellow American Matt Kuchar with an extraordinary final-round 69 that featured an eagle and three birdies in four holes after he'd relinquished his three-shot overnight lead in wild fashion on the 13th.
He is now eyeing golf's fabled career grand slam after exorcising his Augusta demons.
