Jordan Spieth wins British Open and gives someone a little tap in the groin (Video)

When you’re a champion, you can kind of get away with anything. Jordan Spieth won the 2017 British Open and he celebrates with a casual groin tap of a guy.
In the world of competitive spots, it’s all about being a champion. Don’t kid yourself, it’s more important than anything because winning is all that matters in the end. On Sunday at the 2017 British Open, American champion Jordan Spieth gets to hoist the iconic Claret Jug after beating Matt Kuchar three strokes.
Spieth almost didn’t win The 2017 Open Championship after a terrible tee shot on No. 13. He recovered and shot a bogey before catching fire the rest of the way. Spieth would shoot -5 on the final four holes to become a champion again.
He was feeling so good that he went to the good, old-fashioned nut tap in the waiting room before getting that Claret Jug. Spieth channeled his inner frat boy and just went there. He’s 23 years old and just won the British Open. Can you blame the kid?
Of course, the fine camera work of NBC was able to capture that glorious moment. It really made up for an underwhelming tournament-clinching shot. This crotch shot was definitely better on television than that short putt, but whatever. Spieth is champion and you’re not, so he can do what he wants for like a couple of days or so.
It’s a good day for Spieth, America and Under Armour. His golf apparel isn’t going to fly off the shelf like hot cakes or Chef Curry nurse shoes, but Spieth will definitely make Kevin Plank some money back stateside after beating the field in England.

Now that Spieth has won the British Open, all he needs to complete the major golf tournament grand slam is a victory at the PGA Championship. He finished second in that major back in 2015. At 23 years old, he’s got this.
