Joy for Jordan Spieth as ‘boring golf’ gets the right results at Pebble Beach

Jordan Spieth focused on “boring golf” and shrugged off an unexpected birdie drought in the final round as he clinched his ninth PGA Tour victory, by four shots, at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California.

A commanding six strokes ahead overnight, the world number six carded a bogey-free two-under 70 on a picture-perfect afternoon of unbroken sunshine on the Monterey Peninsula.

“It’s unbelievable,” Spieth, 23, said after becoming the first player since Tiger Woods to win nine times on the PGA Tour before the age of 24.
