Chasing Jason: Spieth Has No Answers for Day at PGA

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Jordan Spieth gave Jason Day a thumbs-up as he watched Day's long birdie attempt roll tantalizingly close to the 17th hole at the PGA Championship.

No way Spieth was going to beat him. Might as well tip his cap.

Spieth closed out one of the best-ever performances at a major championship Sunday — 17-under 271 — to finish one of the best-ever seasons at the majors.

But he finished second in this one, and in the final round, he never really put a scare into Day.

"Best I've ever seen him play," Spieth said.
