SPIETH WINS 146th OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

Jordan Spieth won his third Major in dramatic fashion with a brilliant battling final round performance at the 146th Open Championship.

The American entered the day three shots clear of Matt Kuchar but found himself a shot behind his countryman with five holes to play on a remarkable afternoon at Royal Birkdale.

A stunning birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie run followed that saw him sign for a 69 and a 12 under par total that gave him a three-shot victory over his playing partner who also recorded a 69.
