Spieth’s stunning 10-shot victory

American sensation Jordan Spieth joined Rory McIlroy this year in winning back-to-back tournaments on two different continents by storming to a stunning 10-shot victory after a final round 66 for a 26-under par victory tally in the Hero World Challenge in Windermere, Orlando.

The 21-year old Texan, who collected a $1m prize cheque, also eclipsed World No. 1 Rory McIlroy in winning a third pro title in just two full seasons while it took McIlroy three-and-a-half season to win three in capturing the 2011 US Open.

Graeme McDowell signed for a one under par 71 to share of 11th place at eight under par.

The Ulsterman had commenced his round with a birdie but was observed bizarrely walking down the third replacing the spikes in his golf shoes.

“I had a set a spikes I’ve had in since the Ryder Cup but they were the wrong spikes as they were a little bit too long, and I just wasn’t happy with the way they were tearing up the greens,” he said.

So McDowell got word to the Isleworth locker room and one of the attendants arrived with a set of soft spikes back with the double French Open winner walking off with a bogey.

But he then doubled the fifth before a run of three birdies, including nearly slam-dunking his approach shot at the eighth hole before also birding 10 and then three birdies in succession from the 12th before ending with bogeys at 15 and the last.

“I came here and certainly didn’t see someone like Jordan shooting 26-under par, so I was never going to compete with that,” said McDowell.

“So this is where I will come the before the Masters next year and work on my game before heading up to the Masters.”

And Tiger Woods ended an injury-plagued 18th season with a rare share of last place with a final day 72 that included four birdies, a bogey and a hurtful triple bogey at 13.

“I waited four months for this week and I feel I am making some progress,” said Woods

“I’ve got no pain in my back and with some of the drives I’ve hit this week it really enforces that, so I’ve done the right thing with my body,” said Woods.
