Texan Jordan Spieth captured the Open Championship Sunday at Royal Birkdale in England at 12 under par. American Matt Kuchar was three back at -9. The old links by the Irish Sea has seen plenty of drama during 10 Open Championships played in this English town, but it would be hard to top what Spieth pulled off Sunday, overcoming an unplayable lie penalty to make the most unlikely of bogeys, then playing the final five holes in 5 under par, including a near ace and an eagle that saw him celebrate by barking at his caddie to “go get that!” Spieth is the Champion Golfer of the Year, the title bestowed upon the winner of The Open, and winner of the Claret Jug.
