Spieth's ace paid off for Purdue student

CARMEL, Ind. -- Jordan Spieth insists he didn't do anything. But he's pretty pleased nonetheless by the result, and what it means for a college student at Purdue who he met this week at the BMW Championship.

When Spieth made a hole-in-one during the first round of last year's tournament at Conway Farms outside of Chicago, he celebrated by raising his arms in the air and needling his caddie, Michael Greller, as they had differed on what club to use.

It was the second ace of his career on the PGA Tour (he would also make one later in the year at the Hero World Challenge), but it's tough to think the others could have the same kind of impact.
