Spieth, 21, tied the course record Tiger Woods set in 1997 for the lowest score at -18 under 270. He closed day four with 2-under 70, missing a five-foot par putt on the 18th hole that would have given him the record.

“This was the ultimate goal in my golf life,” Spieth said.

Phil Mickelson gave his best effort on the final day but it would not be enough. Lefty finished the day at 14 under, tied with Justin Rose for second place.

“He has no weaknesses,” Mickelson said of Spieth. “He doesn’t overpower the golf course, but he plays the course strategically well. He plays all the shots properly. And he has that ability to focus and see things clear when the pressure is on and perform at his best when the pressure is on.”

“That’s something that you really can’t teach,” he said. “Some players are able to do it, some players aren’t. And he is.”
