17.) Which means he just scored $1.8MM

16.) He broke the birdie record.

26 birdies during the week, which broke Phil Mickelson’s record of 25. Spieth Putt

15.) He’s 21.

He’s the 2nd youngest to win the Masters…behind Tiger Woods. 

Well it wasn’t the big one but honored to receive the ROY award next to the best in the game! A photo posted by Jordan Spieth (@jordanspieth) on

13.) He’s dating his high school sweetheart

Sorry ladies. Her name is Annie Verrett. And she went to Tech? C’mon, Jordan!

Happy 21st to this beautiful girl! Great time at the Rustic with family and friends @@annie_verret A photo posted by Jordan Spieth (@jordanspieth) on

 

12.) He went professional at age 19.

Even though he left our beloved UT for this, he’s still a Longhorn forever.   Jordan signing-thumb

11.) He’s a fighter.

He came close to winning the Masters last year. So he had to come back, kick ass, and take names.

10.) He goes hard.

He didn’t stop when he was ahead. “Go hard! Go hard! Go hard!” he cried as the ball sailed through a cool breeze. “Go!”
