Jordan Spieth, 21, is the 2015 Masters Champion, shooting a score of 18-under 270, tying the record score set by Tiger Woods in 1997. If it wasn't for a bogey on 18, Spieth would have set a new record.
"This was arguably the greatest day of my life," Spieth said in his post round press conference.

One Great Player Leaves, Another Rises
This year's Masters said goodbye to golf great Ben Crenshaw who played his final competitive round at Augusta on Friday, April 10, as he didn't make the cut.
Crenshaw went to the University of Texas and has served as a bit of a mentor to Jordan Spieth, who also went to Texas.
Spieth and Crenshaw played a practice round together on the Wednesday before the tournament started.
The week Ben Crenshaw plays his final rounds at Augusta, Jordan Spieth wins the first major of his career, and dominates in the process.
