What Happened in the 2015 Masters Tournament

Jordan Spieth became the second-youngest Masters Tournament champion ever when he won the 2015 Masters, doing so in dominating fashion. Spieth, at 21 years, 8 months, trailed only Tiger Woods (who was 21 years, 3 months when he won the 1997 Masters), on the list of youngest winners to this point in the tournament's history.

Spieth opened the tournament with a round of 64, just one off the tournament's then-record for 18-holes. And he never trailed: Spieth led by three strokes after Round 1, five after the second, four after the third, and wound up winning by four. He shot 64-66-70-70, a total of 18-under par 270. Spieth was the first wire-to-wire Masters winner (leading outright after each round) since Raymond Floyd in 1976.

Spieth tied or broke multiple records in his victory, in addition to ones already mentioned. Those included:

Justin Rose, who played with Spieth in the final round, and Phil Mickelson, who was one group ahead of Spieth in Round 4, each got within three shots of Spieth at points during the final round. But neither could put any more pressure on the young leader than that. Rose and Mickelson tied for second place at 274.

At the other end of the spectrum from Spieth was 63-year-old Ben Crenshaw. The 2015 Masters marked Crenshaw's 44th and final appearance in the tournament. He shot 91-85. Crenshaw won the 1984 Masters and 1995 Masters. Brooks Koepka, who went on to win multiple Masters titles, tied for 33rd place in his Masters debut.
