He hit the ball terribly and got extremely lucky. Holes in one are very lucky. You can never convince me that making thirty foot putts is 100% skill. If you have enough of them and are a good putter some are going to drop. But, you cannot play golf counting on making 20-30 foot putts. As much confidence that these guys have from bunkers they may expect to hole out bunker shots, but realistically, they know that there's not a very good chance of it happening.

Speith only hit two or three fairways yesterday and not a lot of greens. After getting extremely lucky on the front nine, he missed two very short putts on the back.

If he continues to hit the ball the way he did, he's not going to win this tournament. He cannot continue to rely on making holes in one, holing out from bunkers and making 30 footers.
You sound like Jordan after his round yesterday. Watching him is just fun.
