Jordan Spieth wins 2015 Master's with a historic performance

This was a fun one to watch.  In only his second time at Augusta (he finished 2nd in his first appearance last year) and he dominated the field, and of all the records broken or tied I think being only the 5th person to lead wire to wire is a pretty select group - Craig Wood (1941), Arnold Palmer (1960), Jack Nicklaus (1972), Raymond Floyd (1976) and now Jordan Speith (2015).  Taht and the most birdies in 72 holes, which I think he had 28, pretty impressive.

Normally, Mickelson's and Rose's -14 would be good enought to win, not this year, not the way this kid played.

Kinda fitting too that one Texan playing his last round at Augusta (Ben Crenshaw) sees another fellow Texan take the crown.
