Jordan Spieth on Sunday won his second PGA Tour event of the season in dramatic fashion.

During a playoff with Daniel Berger at the Traveller’s Championship, on the 19th hole, Spieth found himself in a bunker near the hole.

Spieth proceeded to hit almost a perfect shot out of the bunker and holed it to win the tournament.

Almost as epic as the shot was his celebration, as he chest-bumped his caddy and chucked his wedge.

Afterward, Spieth said of the shot, “For the bunker shot to go in, that was awesome. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a moment like that again.”

However, Spieth seemed to forget that in 2013, he won the John Deere Classic in similar fashion, as noted by the announcers.

Though Spieth has had two top-five finishes in tournaments since the end of April, he’s been somewhat disappointing in majors, tying for 11th as the Masters and tying for 35th at the U.S. Open. The Traveller’s Championship isn’t a major, but if nothing else, Spieth has signature moment for 2017.

*Note: This article previously incorrectly stated that the Traveller’s Championship was Spieth’s first PGA Tour event win of the year and that he missed the cut at the U.S. Open. This is Spieth’s second win of the year and he tied for 35th at the U.S. Open.
