Jordan Spieth: Is He the Next Dominant Player to Watch on the PGA Tour?

When we think of dominant play in golf, we think of Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open by 15 strokes in 2000 or winning The Masters by 12 shots in 1997. It's unusual for anyone to win a golf tournament by that large a margin.    

So when Jordan Spieth won the Hero World Challenge by 10, it was attention-getting. He was double digits ahead of the next guy, who happened to be Henrik Stenson. Stenson won the FedEx Cup and the Race to Dubai in 2013. In addition, there were many former major champs in the limited field.

"I made a birdie on 1, which was really big. Just get a putt going in. Hit three great shots there to start the round. I told Mike, Let's get three more and we can't be caught. That was the thing for the day," he said about his final round at the Hero World Challenge.

"By No. 7, that eagle went in and I had gotten to 5‑under, and from there I knew that if I just continued to do what I was doing that we would get the job done."

He kept setting goals during the round.

"I wanted to get to 30. I thought that would be a cool number that I've never even sniffed," he added. "It was great to come back and get two birdies on the last four holes, to see a couple putts go in and close out this tournament. It was a really fun walk on that back nine."

He did not get to 30 on either nine. It was 31-35 and included a double bogey on the back nine. But a 10-shot victory is enough for a two-eyebrow raise. Even he was amazed.

"This was the best that I've ever played, which is what I said in a media center in Sydney last week. I played better this week," he remarked.

The only down side of the victory margin in Orlando is that the field was just 18 players, not 100 or 120 or 144 or 156.  However, full-field victories with double-digit margins ar...
