​John Wood has joked that he was more annoyed at the putts Jordan Spieth was holing during the final round of the 2017 Open Championship than how long he took to hit from the practice ground while playing the 13th hole. The previous Open Championship hosted at Royal Birkdale will be most remembered for the duel between Spieth and Matt Kuchar, particularly on the back nine.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementKuchar had begun the day three shots back of his countryman. However, they were level heading to the 10th tee. Kuchar actually took the lead for the first time after the 13th hole.That 13th hole saw Spieth take around half an hour to hit his approach after taking a drop due to an unplayable lie. Many will remember the sight of Spieth working out that he could hit from the range.He ended up making an incredible bogey to fall one shot behind Kuchar.Wood was on Kuchar’s bag that day in Southport. And speaking on 5 Clubs this week, he provided an insight into how difficult it was for the veteran.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“There’s quite a few things I remember about it. The first thing is I think when you’re watching somebody hit, these guys especially, they’re so good, on the tee shot, you’re looking at a window for the ball to come out in and I remember Kuch had already hit, and I looked at the window and I saw no golf ball. I had no idea where it went. And then I heard Jordan start yelling fore right, and saw it end up on that hill,” he said.Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images“At first, we didn’t know if it was going to be easy to find, but apparently they found it fairly quickly, but it was obviously a shot he wasn’t going to be able to play. So Kuch hit a good drive there, we went up, and even though we were closer, Kuch decided I’m going to go ahead and hit just because he knew it was going to be a long time.“Jordan and Michael just disappeared, so we didn’t know what they were doing until we started looking at a monitor they had up on the left side of that fairway. So we were just sitting with one of the officials in the fairway, just taking it all in, trying to figure out where he was, what he was going to have.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“It wasn’t as nerve-wracking or as crazy as you think. Kuch had a great attitude about it. He wasn’t frustrated, and it was just one of those things, there’s nothing you could do about it. So we just waited. And then when you saw him take a drop and he was on the driving range, we kind of looked at each other like, ‘wow, that’s not out of bounds, okay’.“We saw him swing, didn’t have any idea where the ball was, because we were still far away, we kind of gazed up at the green and saw it land some 25, 30 yards short of the green in a pretty good spot, and then we went up.”It surely helped Kuchar stay calm that it was quite clear that he was going to take the lead on that particular hole. The only question was how much of an advantage he
