“If I Were Your Spouse…” – Amanda Balionis Shares Candid Thoughts on Jordan Spieth’s Frightening Shot

Jordan Spieth’s daring shot at the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am remains one of the most terrifying moments in golf. Positioned on the edge of a 68-foot cliff, Spieth risked everything to play his shot instead of taking a safer drop. His decision stunned spectators and even golf journalists, including Amanda Balionis, who later revisited the moment in an interview.

During a discussion with Spieth, Balionis humorously imagined his wife’s reaction, saying, “If I was your wife, Annie, I would be ready to murder you if you didn’t already fall off that cliff.” Her remark highlighted just how nerve-wracking the shot was. Spieth, known for his bold play, admitted that the situation was as dangerous as it looked from the aerial shots.

This moment stands as a testament to Spieth’s fearless approach to golf, but it also serves as a reminder of the risks players take for the game. While many golfers face tough lies and challenging shots, few encounter life-threatening situations like Spieth did on that fateful day. His decision to go for the shot remains one of the most debated and unforgettable moments in golf history.
