Jordan Spieth has endured undeniable struggles since his back-nine collapse at the Masters, which made his home-state victory at the Dean & DeLuca Invitational all the more significant.

Spieth fired a five-under 65 in Sunday's final round at Colonial Country Club in Forth Worth, Texas, posting a 17-under total that bested runner-up Harris English by three strokes.

Actually, I laugh about it now. I really do. But it keeps coming up, and I understand that.

Since Spieth's romp at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in January, when he shot 30 under par to blow the field away, he had struggled. He'd missed the cut at the Northern Trust Open and hadn't logged a top-10 finish in four other stroke-play events before the Masters.
