Golf’s oldest major championship has a 2017 winner: Jordan Spieth, an American. A dramatic final round capped the tournament, with Spieth vying with fellow American Matt Kuchar for the top position. China’s Li Haotong finished six strokes back in third place. Spieth, 23, started the day with a three-shot lead over Kuchar, but temporarily lost it after a shaky performance for the first 13 holes. But he regained his footing on the home stretch scoring a birdie, an eagle, and two more birdies to win the tournament.
