Jordan Spieth crowned youngest Masters winner since Tiger Woods

Jordan seen celebrating his feat on the 18th green

Icons and titles do not belong to anyone forever - and that is exactly what Jordan Spieth did as he was crowned youngest Masters winner since Tiger Woods.


Aged just 21 from Texas and now the world number two golfer after Rory McIlroy, Spieth was awarded the coveted green jacket for his 18-under par with a final score of 70 - the same score that gave Woods his first green-jacket 18 years ago - and setting new standards for the 36 and 54 holes.





Spieth has now become the first wire-to-wire winner at the Masters since Raymond Floyd in 1976, and the second youngest Masters winner of all time.

World number one Donald rolled in only two birdies and struggled to build momentum in his first professional tournament Down Under, but displayed enough of his trademark control to finish with a blemish-free 69, four strokes behind.
