Jordan Spieth grabbed most of the headlines with his first win in Texas, setting up a Jordan, Rory, Jason match up at Jack's Memorial this week. Here's a summary of the weekend, including final scoreboards and Canadian results with links to them all.
PGA Tour Dean & DeLuca Invitational leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/dean-deluca-invitational/leaderboard.html
This event is really the Colonial in Fort Worth, made famous by Ben Hogan, this year with a brand new sponsor. The winner was Jordan Spieth 67 66 65 65 -17, so he adds a pretty ugly red tartan jacket to go with the green one he won at Augusta 2 years ago.
He birdied his final three holes, chipping in from behind the 17th green and closing with a 35 foot birdie bomb to finish three strokes ahead of Harris English.
It was his eighth career win and came in his third tournament since blowing the Masters. He will join Rory and Jason at Jack's Memorial this week before defending his U.S. Open title in three weeks.
