Momentous Sunday at Augusta

Aged just 21, eight months and 16 days, Spieth, may be five months older than Tiger Woods was when he became the youngest Masters champion in 1997 but the kid from Dallas, Texas proved equal to the man who would rule golf for more than a decade by equalling his record low score of 270 for 72 holes.

A bogey at the last mattered not for Spieth who becomes the fourth player to win the Masters wire to wire having become the first player to reach 19 under par with a birdie at the 15th.
