Jordan Spieth (조던 스피스)

[시너먼]

1993년 미국 출생

텍사스대학교 졸업

He is an American professional golfer on the PGA Tour,

currently ranked second in the world rankings.

Spieth won his first major at the 2015 Masters Tournament

with a score of 270 (−18),

earning him $1.8 million.

Spieth tied the 72-hole record set by Tiger Woods in 1997

and became the second youngest to win the Masters,

behind Woods. He then won the 2015 U.S. Open

with a final score of 5-under-par.

 He is the youngest U.S. Open champion since Bobby Jones in 1923.

Spieth was born in Dallas, Texas,

to Shawn T. Spieth and Mary Christine (née Julius) Spieth.

He attended St. Monica Catholic School

and graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School in 2011.

Amateur career

Spieth won the U.S. Junior Amateur in 2009 and 2011,

 joining Tiger Woods as its only multiple winners.

Before turning 18 in July 2011,

he was No. 1 in the Polo Golf Rankings, which promotes the best junior golfers

in the United States.

He finished second in the 2008 and 2009 Junior PGA Championship.

The American Junior Golf Association named him the Rolex Junior Player of the Year in 2009.

Spieth accepted an exemption to play in the PGA Tour's HP Byron Nelson Championship in 2010.

 It was the event's first amateur exemption since 1995.

The tournament's previous exemptions had included Trip Kuehne in 1995,

and Justin Leonard and Woods in 1993.

He made the cut, becoming the sixth-youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event.

Spieth was tied for seventh place after the third round,

and finished the tournament in a tie for 16th place.

He was offered another exemption into the tournament in 2011,

when he again made the cut and finished in a tie for 32nd.

Spieth played college golf for the Longhorns at the University of Texas.

Spieth was a member of the 2011 Walker Cup team,

and played in three of the four rounds, halving his foursomes match

and winning both singles matches.

In his freshman year at Texas,

Spieth won three events and led the team in scoring average.

He helped his team win the NCAA championship,

was named to the All-Big 12 Team, Big 12 Freshman of the Year and Player of the Year,

 and was a first-team All-American.

Spieth earned a spot in the U.S. Open in 2012 as an alternate

after Brandt Snedeker withdrew;

he tied for 21st and was the low amateur.

 He became the number one amateur in the World Amateur Golf Ranking

after his performance in the U.S. Open and Patrick Cantlay's decision

 to turn professional.

Professional career

Midway through his sophomore year at Texas in 2012,

the 19-year-old Spieth turned professional.

He partnered with Under Armour for sponsorship in January 2013

and with BioSteel Sports Supplements in March.

2013

Spieth opened the 2013 season by missing the cut by two strokes

at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in January.

 In March,

Spieth made three cuts, finishing tied for second at the Puerto Rico Open

and tied for seventh at the Tampa Bay Championship.

He earned Special Temporary Member status in March,

allowing him unlimited sponsor exemptions,

whereas non-members are limited to seven per season.

He notched another top-10 finish in April at the RBC Heritage, a tie for ninth.

On July 14, about two weeks before his 20th birthday,

Spieth won the John Deere Classic in a three-way,

sudden-death playoff on the fifth playoff hole

against defending champion Zach Johnson and David Hearn.

He became the fourth youngest PGA Tour winner and the first teenager in 82 years;

 last accomplished by Ralph Guldahl at the Santa Monica Open in 1931.

Spieth holed out from a greenside bunker on the 72nd hole to make the playoff.

With the victory,

Spieth was granted full status as a PGA Tour member

and became eligible for the FedEx Cup,

entering in 11th place in the standings.

 It also earned him entry into the next three majors:

the 2013 Open Championship, PGA Championship, and 2014 Masters.

 Five weeks after

his first victory,

Spieth played the Wyndham Championship,

where he lost in a playoff to Patrick Reed.

Spieth shot a final round 62 in the Deutsche Bank Championship,

vaulting him into a tie for fourth.

Just two days later,

captain Fred Couples selected Spieth for the United States squad in the 2013 Presidents Cup.

On September 27, 2013, he was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.

At the end of the 2013 season, he was ranked 10th on the PGA Tour money list

and 22nd in the Official World Golf Ranking.

2014

Spieth made his debut at The Masters and shared the 54-hole lead

with Bubba Watson.

During the final round,

Spieth at one point was the standalone leader by two strokes

and in position to become the youngest Masters champion in history;

Tiger Woods holds the record at age 21.

But Watson retook the lead heading into the back nine

and never relinquished it.

Spieth finished in a tie for second with Jonas Blixt,

 becoming the youngest runner-up in Masters history.

Spieth ended the tournament having shot no worse than an even-par (72)

in any of his rounds.

His finish moved him into the top 10 in the world rankings for the first time.

Following the PGA Championship, Spieth earned selection

to the 2014 Ryder Cup team,

becoming the youngest American, at just past his 21st birthday,

ever to play in the matches,

and the second youngest player ever, older only than Sergio García

when García was selected for Europe in 1999.

In November, Spieth won his second tournament as a professional

at the Emirates Australian Open on the PGA Tour of Australasia;

 in the final round he shot a course-record 63 to win the title by six strokes.

A week later, he completed back-to-back victories,

winning the Hero World Challenge in Florida. He won the tournament wire-to-wire

and in doing so set a new tournament scoring record of 26-under-par.

2015

On March 15, he won the Valspar Championship

in a three-way playoff with Patrick Reed and Sean O'Hair.

He secured his victory on the third extra hole by sinking a 30-foot birdie putt.

The win moved him to 6th in the Official World Golf Ranking.

A runner-up finish at the Valero Texas Open moved him

to a career-high ranking of fourth in the world.

The following week,

Spieth lost in a sudden-death playoff at the Shell Houston Open,

 having held the 54-hole lead.

He shot a final round 70,

but had to hole an 8-footer on the last to force the playoff following low rounds

by J. B. Holmes and Johnson Wagner

that had pushed them to the top of the leaderboard.

On the first playoff hole,

Spieth put his drive into a bunker,

then followed up with a poor shot,

 causing his elimination from the playoff,

which was won by Holmes.

2015 Masters

On April 9,

Spieth shot an opening round 64 to finish the day eight strokes

 under par with a three-shot lead in the Masters Tournament

at Augusta, Georgia;

Spieth set a record as the youngest player to lead the Masters after the first round.

His score was only one shot behind the course record of 63 shared

by Nick Price and Greg Norman,

with their rounds coming in 1986 and 1996 respectively.

Spieth shot 66 the following day to break the 36-hole Masters

scoring record by posting 14-under 130 through two rounds.

The previous record, set by Raymond Floyd in 1976,

was 13-under 131. He broke the 54-hole record

at the Masters shooting a 16-under 200 through three rounds.

During the final round

Spieth briefly held a score of −19 but bogeyed the final hole resulting in him

tying Tiger Woods' 1997 score record at 18-under.

Spieth set the record for the most birdies during the Masters by making 28

and became the second-youngest person to win the Masters.

His victory was the first wire-to-wire Masters win since Raymond Floyd's in 1976.

The victory moved Spieth to #2 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

2015 U.S. Open

On June 21, Spieth won the U.S. Open to claim his second major championship.

He carded a one-under 69 in the final round to finish with a total of 275 (-5)

and win the tournament by one stroke over Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen.

Spieth had begun the day in a four way tie for the lead and played

 in the penultimate group alongside Branden Grace.

He opened his final round with a bogey to fall behind,

but then a run 12 pars and two birdies in his next 14 holes moved him

 into a tie for the lead with Grace at five under par.

On the 16th hole, Grace hit his tee shot out of bounds that led to a double bogey

and Spieth capitalized by rolling in a lengthy birdie putt to create a three shot swing,

which gave Spieth a three shot lead with two to play. However on the 17th tee, S

pieth pushed his tee shot well right into the thick rough,

which led to a double bogey and coupled with Johnson's birdie on the 16th,

the two were tied for the lead briefly.

Spieth then missed an eagle putt on the 18th to give him a two shot lead,

but made birdie to become the leader in the clubhouse.

Johnson then had an eagle putt to win the tournament outright on the 72nd hole,

but three-putted from 12 feet to finish one stroke behind.

Spieth became only the sixth player ever to win the Masters

and the U.S. Open back to back,

and the first since Tiger Woods in 2002.

The other four golfers to accomplish this feat are Hall of Fame members

Craig Wood, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.

He became the fourth-youngest player to win multiple major championships

and the youngest winner of the U.S. Open since Bobby Jones in 1923.

Rest of 2015

The week before The Open,

Spieth chose to play at the John Deere Classic

rather than the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open,

where many other top-ranked players were competing to prepare for the links style courses.

Spieth shot the lowest round of his professional career to date,

with a 61 in the 3rd round.

He eventually won the tournament in a playoff for his fourth victory of the year.

Spieth's quest for the grand slam ended when he finished tied 4th in The Open Championship

with a final score of –14, one stroke out of a playoff.

He had been tied for the lead but bogeyed the 17th hole to drop one stroke behind

and could not make his birdie on the 18th to join the playoff.

Charity

After earning a spot on the 2013 Presidents Cup team,

Spieth began to plan the Jordan Spieth Charitable Fund.

The fund provides awareness and financial assistance to special needs children,

military families and youth golf.
