Jordan Spieth wins Tour Championship, has richest golf season ever

ATLANTA -- Jordan Spieth treated the Tour Championship as if it were a major. He played like it was, too.

Looking for a fitting finish to a sensational season, Spieth poured in putts from all over East Lake and never gave Henrik Stenson or anyone else much of a chance Sunday. His final stroke was an 8-foot par putt that was right in the heart for a 1-under 69, and he leaned back with a smile of pure satisfaction.

The 22-year-old Texan became golf's first $22 million man -- a PGA Tour record with just over $12 million in prize money, and the $10 million bonus for the FedEx Cup.

"This is incredible," Spieth said. "This is an event where we approach it like a major championship because we know this is possible at the end of it."

Thought he could get the slam this year, but glad to see him winning this one means he can bounce back.
