Jordan Spieth holes bunker shot to win Travelers playoff (Jun 25, 2017)

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) Jordan Spieth needed an extra hole, a little bit of luck and an amazing final shot to finish off a wire-to-wire victory in the Travelers Championship.

The two-time major champion holed out from 60 feet for birdie from a greenside bunker on the first hole of a playoff with Daniel Berger on Sunday at TPC River Highlands.

The 23-year-old Texan joined Tiger Woods as the only PGA Tour players in the era since World War II with 10 victories before the age of 24. Woods won 15 times before he turned 24.

”That was one for the ages,” said Spieth, also the winner at Pebble Beach in February.
