Jordan Spieth is in his final preparations for the 150th British Open, which begins on Thursday. It appears that part of those preparations includes absolutely destroying an ice cream cone during his practice round.
It’s unclear if Spieth was really hungry, really hot, or just needed a sugar boost, but a video of him demolishing a 99 Flake (an ice cream cone with a Cadbury Flake sticking out of it) emerged on Wednesday as he was getting in a practice round.

Alas, Spieth didn’t even have time to finish his ice cream, devouring four bites in 12 seconds before handing it off and surely giving himself an ice cream headache.
While many of the LIV Golf players at The Open are feeling disrespected this week, it looks like Spieth, who spurned rumors about joining the Saudi-backed series, is doing just fine. No word on whether or not the LIV Golf players got their own 99 Flakes.
Naturally, the golf world had a field day with Spieth’s very brief, very intense ice cream moment and took to social media to share their reactions.

Jordan Spieth eating his Mr Whippy ice cream like a 4 year old is the best thing to happen this week so far.#TheOpen pic.twitter.com/VWKtitjxIg

I love this for so many reasons.
But mainly because Jordan Spieth aggressively scarfed down half of the cone in .02 sec then hands it off like a bad prom date 🤣pic.twitter.com/qQYXmo6aoQ

From shotgunning water at Portrush to inhaling ice cream at St Andrews.
There’s something about #TheOpen that makes Jordan Spieth act like he’s never experienced pedestrian food and drink before. pic.twitter.com/ia3XwNZfOV
