Aside from nerves/adrenaline, I have to believe it was Spaun seeing that Rory hit 9 iron, and him taking the same club not knowing Rory hit a 3/4 shot.
I remember reading that Sam Snead could hit 100 yards with every club in his bag, and would use different clubs to fool his playing partner. Compounded with a strong wind, this would be an effective strategy.
