Jordan Spieth prevails for the first time since he won the 2017 British Open for his third major championship.
GOLF Jordan Spieth ended a slump that lasted nearly four years, closing with a 6-under 66 on Sunday to win the Valero Texas Open for his first victory since the 2017 British Open. Spieth sealed it with a 5-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole, and he won by two shots over Charley Hoffman. Spieth, who finished at 18-under 270, moved to No.38 in the world. He is back in the top 50 for the first time in more than a year.

Ranked 37th, he beat two top-10 opponents in the same tournament for the first time, and he is projected to climb to a career-high 16th in the new rankings.
