Dallas (AFP) - Masters champion Jordan Spieth will get another chance to give home fans the victory they're longing to see when he tees it up at the Byron Nelson Championship this week.

The 21-year-old from Dallas finished tied for second on Sunday at Colonial in nearby Fort Worth.

Spieth entered the final round five shots behind leader Kevin Na, but stormed into contention with four birdies in his first six holes before settling for his share of second behind Chris Kirk.
