His improbable run for victory over after a double-bogey on 15, Dallas Jesuit junior Jordan Spieth had one last thing to accomplish before closing the book on his fairytale week. He would not leave without firing at the flag on 17.
The afternoon sun glared off the water 175 yards away. Fans were packed in the skyboxes surrounding the amphitheater.
Spieth's 7-iron shot hovered in the wind, barely cleared the pond and then came down with a thud 10 feet from the hole. The aggressive play drew a deafening roar. As Spieth walked downhill, he was serenaded with a standing ovation that a champion would envy.
He may have finished in a tie for 16th, six strokes behind winner Jason Day, but the scene on 17 left an imprint that could last a lifetime.

Defying age and logic, Dallas Jesuit junior Jordan Spieth climbed the leaderboard of the PGA's Byron Nelson Championship in blustery Saturday conditions while facing only one quandary.
No, it wasn't the next-to-impossible par he made on the 18th hole after spraying his drive into the No. 1 fairway. It wasn't the 26-foot bunker shot he faced after short-siding himself on the opening hole. Heck, he rolled that one in for birdie.
The only thing that vexed the 16-year-old Spieth as he rose to a seventh-place tie entering today's final round was how to address his Saturday playing partner, 50-year-old Tom Pernice.

Dallas Jesuit junior Jordan Spieth blew a giant exhale through his rosy, 16-year-old cheeks, then piped his first tee shot down the fairway, with a gentle draw.
Playing in his first PGA Tour event, Spieth played 11 holes at even-par. As he eyed a downhill six-foot putt, a horn blast signified the end of Thursday's play as darkness fell over the TPC Four Seasons Resort at Las Colinas. Spieth rolled it in. His gallery of several hundred erupted in cheers.
"That last putt was sick!" Spieth said.
As an amateur, Spieth won't earn a cent at the HP Byron Nelson Championship; but, already, he has priceless experiences to deposit in his lifetime memory bank.
