Jordan Spieth put up a valiant fight in the final round of the 2015 PGA Championship, but he was ultimately powerless to stop Jason Day in his pursuit of his first major title.

The 22-year-old shot a four-under 68 in Round 4 to finish at 17 under for the tournament. Day won the tournament by three strokes. You can see the full leaderboard below:



Things never quite clicked at Whistling Straits for Spieth on Sunday. His two bogeys on the front nine equaled his combined total over the first three rounds. You can see his fourth-round scorecard below:



Bill Simmons summed up Spieth's final day well. The two-time major champion was off his game, but he never fell so far behind Day that a comeback was out of the question:



Spieth began his day with three birdies on the first six holes, and it looked as though he was beginning his inevitable climb into the top spot.

A bogey on No. 4 stunted his momentum, but he quickly rebounded with birdies on the fifth and sixth holes. A second bogey on the ninth hole bumped him back down to one under for the day.

Despite his somewhat slow start to the final round, Spieth's back nine in the third round was all the evidence necessary to see he could flip the switch to an otherworldly level in an instant. He closed Saturday with a brilliant six-under 30 on the final nine holes.

After the round, he talked about his mindset as he recorded birdie after birdie.

"And so once the one on 11 went (in for birdie), even though it was a simple up-and-down, I at least saw another birdie go," Spieth said, per USA Today's Steve DiMeglio. "The one on 12 was nice. And we're off to the races. The holes started to look bigger. And on the back nine it was nice to get in the zone."

Fox Sports' Shane Bacon wasn't about to write Spieth off:



An inspired run wasn't in the cards for Spieth, though....
