I was casually watching when he hit it through the fairway and over the cliff.  I was either getting dinner or mixing a drink.  Regardless I saw Tiger's ball finish 30-40 yards short of the runoff.

When I watched the TV replay of the tee shot, it did seem like Spieth's ball really caught a groove and kept rolling whereas other tee shots seemed to check up in the fairway a bit more.  Also don't remember if Spieth hit hybrid vice iron off the tee.

The 3rd shot in to the green I think is where Spieth was given a bad number.  He hit his iron clean and was 2-3 clubs too long on that shot.  And pros generally know if they gassed a shot or hit a good shot the wrong distance.

I'm not a big fan of "team Spieth".  It always goes back to the golfer taking ownership of the number.  Many of us remember Bubba sawing in to his caddy about 5-6 years ago after a bad number from his caddy on 16 at the Travelers.  Caddies gotta have thick skin.

Wrapping it all up, it appears Spieth didn't know himself what the numbers were to the green from the edge of the cliff.
