Golf:Jordan Spieth claims FedExCup with Tour Championship victory


Jordan Spieth capped an unforgettable season in fitting style with victory in the Tour Championship to secure the FedExCup title and a massive payday in Atlanta.

Spieth knew a fifth win of the season at East Lake would guarantee him the overall title and the 22-year-old didn't disappoint, with a one-under 69 enough to secure a £7.5m payout, on top of the first prize of £977,000 for the Tour Championship win.

Not only did the American finish four shots clear of Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose and Danny Lee, but victory also saw him leapfrog Jason Day and Rory McIlroy as world No 1.
