Heading into the Masters, 21-year-old Jordan Spieth was on fire, winning the Valspar Championship before earning consecutive runner-up finishes at the Valero Texas Open and Shell Houston Open. He was quickly becoming one of the PGA Tour's most talked-about players, and as it turned out, the hype was real.

Spieth didn't just win the Masters—he dominated the Masters.

His brilliant eight-under 64 in Round 1 set the tone for the tournament, as Spieth knocked in nine birdies and had just one bogey to show for his efforts. He continued his torrid pace in Round 2, shooting a six-under 66 and keeping a blemish-free scorecard. For those of you counting at home, that's a grand total of 15 birdies and one bogey through 36 holes.



After his 14-under set a new tournament 36-hole record, Spieth struggled slightly in Round 3. He continued his birdie onslaught, gaining another seven, but his day was marred by several mistakes that resulted in three bogeys and a double. Still, his two-under 70 was enough to set a new 54-hole Masters record.

With several of golf's biggest names just behind him on the leaderboard entering Sunday, Spieth was tested yet again. While there were some hiccups throughout his round, he remained steady and was able to bounce back from each. Another 70 secured his green jacket and tied Tiger Woods' 72-hole Masters record of 18 under par.

Incredible—especially at just 21 years of age.

Spieth's victory is a breath of fresh air for the golfing world. Despite some resurgent efforts from Phil Mickelson and Woods at Augusta, the dwindling success of the "older generation" of tour pros appeared to be a concern for the sport. Who would step up to continue delighting fans and inspiring younger players?
