Golf fans think they've worked out who Jordan Spieth painfully 'flicked' with his golf club during his fourth and final round of the 2025 Masters Tournament.
The 31-year-old, a winner of the tournament in 2015, carded a final round of 70 to finish tied for 14th on three-under-par.
Spieth was looking to win his first major since 2017, but two opening rounds of 73 effectively ruled him out of contention.
He scored eight birdies during his final round, but went viral for a completely different reason.

As he was walking to the first tee to start his round, Spieth flicked the handle of his golf club into the groin area of an Augusta patron, who briefly doubled up in pain.
A clip of the incident racked up over 57,000 likes on Twitter as fans tried to figure out who Spieth's 'victim' was.
Golfer and commentator Smylie Kaufman took to social media to confirm that the man in question was in fact Spieth's manager, Jay Danzi.
He posted: "Can confirm. Danzi sold it imo."
It was a light-hearted moment - though probably briefly painful for Danzi - in a weekend dominated by Spieth's former rival Rory McIlroy, who won the tournament to complete his career grand slam.
Spieth was instead left rueing what he believes to be a 'frustrating' issue at Augusta National that he says cost him several shots over the course of the four days.
The American questioned why players could not clean 'mud balls' - where mud sticks on the ball and impacts the next shot.
"You can't talk about them here," Spieth told reporters. "You're not supposed to talk them.
"Mud balls can affect this tournament significantly, especially when you get them a lot on 11 and 13. They're just daggers on those two holes.
"There's less than normal, but I still had them today [Saturday] on those holes. I had them yesterday on those holes.
"If you're on the wrong side of the hole, you're either in the water or you almost can't make par depending on what hole it is.
"Look, it's mowed into the grain. The ball is digging in on every shot. A lot of times, you have it on 75 per cent of your drives. The fact that you're not supposed to talk about it is a bit frustrating, because it is a difference maker. It can be a difference maker in scores on some holes."
