One year after Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson went toe-to-toe at The Open, Spieth and Kuchar produced their own share of drama in an epic duel in the final pairing over the final two rounds. Played the final five holes at 5-under. After a bogey at No. 13, which included a 20-minute ruling that took him to the practice range during an unplayable, went birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie-par.

Victory came in his 121st TOUR start at the age of 23 years, 11 months and 26 days, joining Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win three legs of the Grand Slam before the age of 24. Nicklaus won the 1963 PGA Championship at the age of 23 years, 6 months. Just four days before turning 24, had 11 victories prior to the age of 24, second only to Tiger Woods' 15 wins (since 1983). The win at Royal Birkdale marked his seventh top-four finish in 19 major championship starts, needing only a victory at the PGA Championship to complete the career Grand Slam. The Open Championship marked his first time posting four rounds in the 60s in a major championship. By doing so, he became the fifth player to perform the feat at The Open, joining Greg Norman (1983), Nick Price (1994), Tiger Woods (2000), Henrik Stenson (2016). Improved to nine of 14 when carrying the lead/co-lead into the final round of a PGA TOUR event, including nine out of his last 10 attempts. Overall, held the lead/co-lead 15 times (out of 70 total rounds) in major championships (three times after the first round, four times after the second round, five times after the third round and three times after victories). In addition, joined this list of players who led after every round but were tied for the lead in at least one round in 72-hole Open Championships: Harry Vardon (1899, 1903), J.H. Taylor (1900), Lee Trevino (1971), Gary Player (1974), Jordan Spieth (2017). Week included matching bogey-free rounds of 65 in the first and third rounds, with the opening 65 tying him with Louis Oosthuizen (2015) for lowest opening round by an Open champion.
  • Travelers Championship: In his first start in the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands, opened with a 63, his low opening round on the PGA TOUR, then went on to hold the solo lead after every round before winning via playoff against fellow Class of 2011 member Daniel Berger. Holed a bunker shot on the first extra hole, No. 18, for birdie to win his 10th career PGA TOUR title in his 120th start. Joined Tiger Woods as the only players in the modern era with 10 PGA TOUR wins by the age of 24. Win marked the the first time he won a tournament in his first start. Improved his playoff record to 4-2.
  • DEAN & DELUCA Invitational: The defending DEAN & DELUCA Invitational champion carded a flawless final-round 5-under 65 at Colonial to move from T8 to T2, one stroke back of champion Kevin Kisner. It marked the 11th runner-up performance of his career. Was hoping to join Ben Hogan as the only players to win back-to-back DEAN & DELUCA Invitationals, with Hogan performing the feat twice (1946-47 and 1952-53). In five starts at the DEAN & DELUCA Invitational, his record at Colonial now includes five top-15 finishes (T2-2017, Won-2016, T2-2015, T14-2014, T7-2013).
  • Zurich Classic of New Orleans: Teamed with fellow Texan Ryan Palmer to finish fourth at 22-under in new two-man team, Foursomes/Four-ball format at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Was his second appearance at TPC Louisiana after missing the cut in 2013.
  • Masters Tournament: Despite opening- and closing-round scores of 3-over 75 in his fourth appearance at the Masters, managed to finish at 1-under 287 and T11 on the strength of second- and third-round scores of 69-68, respectively. Was just two strokes off the lead after 54 holes, before the Sunday 75 left him eight strokes back. The par-3 12th hole, which caused his demise in the final round of 2016 (quadruple bogey), struck again in the 2017 final round (double bogey). The finish marked his first time at Augusta to finish outside the top two.
  • AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am: Making his 100th professional PGA TOUR start (108 overall including amateur starts), finished 19-under 268 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for a four-stroke victory over Kelly Kraft. At the age of 23 years, 6 months, 16 days, joined Tiger Woods (23-5-7) as the only two players to win nine times before the age of 24 (since World War II). In addition, became the second youngest winner at the event, trailing only 1981 champion John Cook (23 years, 4 months). The AT&T sponsored athlete won in his fifth start in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am where he finished inside the top 25 in every start: Won-2017, T21-2016, T7-2015, T4-2014 and T22-2013. With the win, Spieth extended the stretch of American-born players to win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to 13, with the last international winner of the event being Vijay Singh in 2004. Improved to seven of 12 when carrying the lead/co-lead into the final round, including seven of his last eight attempts.
  • Waste Management Phoenix Open: Gradually worked his way up the leaderboard at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, opening with a 1-under 70 before shooting 68-67-67 to finish at 12-under 272 and in a tie for ninth place.
  • Sony Open in Hawaii: Having missed the cut in his only other Sony Open in Hawaii start (2014), shot a final-round 63 to finish third and eight shots behind winner Justin Thomas. Was paired with Thomas the first two days, getting a birds-eye view of Thomas' opening 11-under 59.
  • SBS Tournament of Champions: Making his PGA TOUR season debut, closed with an 8-under 65 to finish T3 at the SBS Tournament of Champions in his attempt to become the first player to successfully defend at Kapalua since Geoff Ogilvy (2009-2010). Led the field with 26 birdies, one more than champion Justin Thomas. Marked his third top-three finish in as many starts at the winners-only event: 2nd-2014, 1st-2016, T3-2017.
