The PGA Tour will have to wait for its first back-to-back FedEx Cup champion.

Jordan Spieth carded a two-under 68 in Sunday's final round to bring his overall score to even par at the Tour Championship, going into the clubhouse in a tie for 16th place and 11 strokes behind the leaders.

As soon as Spieth found the fairway, his round began turning around. He earned back-to-back-to-back birdies on Nos. 4 through 6, draining a 20-foot putt on the par-four fourth to give him momentum.

Spieth missed a chance at a fourth straight birdie on No. 7, which started a five-hole cold stretch. He made the turn at even par after missing the green on the ...
