In the end Jordan Speith "played the best round of my life", a stunning -8 63 to get to -13 on another windy afternoon in Sydney at the venerable Australian GC, 6 shots ahead of plucky Rod Pampling (68) -7
Only 8 players broke par, the golf course was clearly the winner as well this week..
Spieth, whose putter was on fire, birdied four holes on the front nine to lead by three strokes after nine holes, then made four more on the back nine, never threatening to lose his lead.
His score was a record for the revamped Jack Nicklaus-designed layout which was being played as a par 71 for the first time.
Adam Scott shot 71 and finished fifth, nine strokes behind. Defending champion Rory McIlroy, who shot 76 on Saturday, finished with a 72 and was 2-over, 15 strokes behind Spieth.
