NASSAU, Bahamas — Jordan Spieth and his caddie shared the kind of hug on the 18th green normally seen only by winners.
They were six shots behind when they finished the Hero World Challenge, and it was clear this moment wasn't about Sunday at Albany Golf Club. This was about the realization that the year was finally over, the kind of year a player never wants to end.
The Masters made it special. The U.S. Open made it incredible. The FedEx Cup made it lucrative. The No. 1 ranking made it satisfying.
When the 22-year-old Texan made his final full swing of the year and was walking toward the green, caddie Michael Greller walked alongside him.
