Jordan Spieth is taking out his frustration on the fans.
No, not really, but the two-time major champion did strike a fan with an errant drive in the second round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on Friday.

The commentary from Dougie Donnelly and Ken Brown was even better.

"I think, perhaps, that was a real stroke of fortune -- not for the spectator, but for Jordan Spieth," Donnelly said, per Golf Digest.
"I think he's going to have a nasty bruise on the derriere, and he's getting no sympathy from the lady. She thinks it's absolutely hilarious," Brown said. "Dear, dear, that was nearly a plugged lie."
"He'll be standing at the bar tonight," Donnelly added.
The contact did indeed benefit Spieth, preventing his ball from taking a splash. He would eventually make par on the ninth hole.
His luck ended there.
Fog delayed the start of play on Friday by nearly three hours. Spieth -- alongside Rory McIlroy -- highlighted the afternoon group. Both were only able to fit 13 holes before play was suspended for the day because of darkness.
Spieth entered the clubhouse at 3-under par and seven strokes off the lead. He’’ll finish his second round on Saturday morning.
