Spieth On Australian Open Winning 63: "It's definitely the best round I've ever played and the best win I've ever had"

/

Jordan Spieth blew away the field with a final day 63 and six-stroke Australian Open victory over Rod Pampling.

An unbylined story in The Age on the 21-year-old capping the year off with a big win.

Mike Clayton puts the round into perspective, calling the score "almost beyond comprehension" over The Australian, which he says "is the most difficult championship course in the country."

Clayton also noted this about the importance of the win:

Probably he is the brightest of the very young American players and it is more than heartening he seems to understand the importance of developing his game outside of America. Players can make fortunes without ever owning a passport by playing the one-dimensional courses found on the PGA Tour but to be judged a truly great golfer one needs to venture beyond the shores of the United States and both test and develop a game in unfamiliar conditions. Spieth played well in Japan last week and whilst The Australian is hardly a typical or traditional Australian golf course Spieth’s win will hopefully see him return, as Nicklaus and Player did, many times to our shores.
