With 28 birdies in the tournament, Jordan set the record for most birdies in the Masters. Moreover, Jordan Spieth moved up one spot to #2 in the world rankings with his victory.
Later that year, he competed in the US Open and claimed the second major championship of his career. Jordan carded a one-under 69 in the final round and won by one stroke over Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen.
