New golfing sensation Jordan Spieth became the youngest champion at the Hero World Challenge following a record-setting performance while Tiger Woods finished tied 17th after carding an even-par 72 on the final day of his comeback event, here on Sunday.
The young American pocketed $1 million for his extraordinary performance as he aggregated 26-under 262 with a final round card of 66, breaking the tournament record of 266 set by Woods in 2007 and Davis love III in 2000.
For Woods, who made a comeback to competitive golf after a four-month injury lay-off, coming out of this week pain-free was a big relief but his short game let him down in the tournament. On Sunday he managed a bogey free front-nine, which had two birdies but his back nine had a triple bogey on the par-5 13th. He managed to get two birdies before closing with a par.
