Spieth starts year with 8-stroke win in Kapalua

KAPALUA, Hawaii -- Jordan Spieth brought his old form to the new year and had no trouble winning the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on Sunday.

Staked to a five-shot lead, Spieth made two straight birdies around the turn at Kapalua to restore his margin, and he spent the rest of the afternoon soaking up the views of surf and sun on Maui. The view from the top is just as stunning at the moment -- but not so much for those trying to catch him.

Spieth made an 8-foot birdie putt to reach his target, though he didn't need it.
