Congrats To 19-Year-Old Texan Jordan Speith

First teenager to win on the PGA Tour since Ralph Guldahl in 1931.
Now he gets to board the chartered plane with one of the guys he beat in a 5-hole playoff and play in the British Open. Tune into Sportscenter tonight to see the shot he hit just to make the playoff...and the one he hit from the weeds, between two trees, to ice it.
And now that he's won, all the Fedex Playoff points he's earned in the last three months actually count. He went from nothing to 11th place.
Not bad, kid.

Incidental Curiosity of the day: Speith won in a playoff...Phil Mickleson won in a playoff in Scotland...There is also a playoff in progress at the Web.com Tour stop.  The kid who shot a 59 isn't in it.
