SILVIS, Ill. — Jordan Spieth can say he's accomplished something that Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy never did. Spieth won a PGA Tour event as a teenager — and now he's joining all those stars at next week's British Open. The 19-year-old outlasted David Hearn and Zach Johnson on the fifth hole of a playoff Sunday to win the John Deere Classic, becoming the youngest winner on the PGA Tour in 82 years.
