Jordan Spieth had three putts to clinch the Dean & Deluca Invitational from 34 feet away from the hole, but the 22-year-old decided to wrap up the tournament quickly - knocking down the birdie putt to win at Colonial on Sunday.

"That's a tough hump to get over, coming back from Augusta and to do it in our third tournament back," Spieth admitted, referring to his meltdown at The Masters last month, according to ESPN's Jason Sobel.

His tournament was won on the back nine, where he knocked down six birdies against just one bogey. He needed just nine putts over his final nine holes.

With his eighth career PGA Tour win, Spieth becomes the youngest player to reach that milestone since Horton Smith - who became an eight-time winner 86 years ago.

Spieth's win sets the stage for an incredible situation at next year's Memorial Tournament, which will now feature the top three players in the world after they each won their most recent start.
