Teenage titan Jordan Spieth set for big future?
While European golf fans were watching this weekend's action at Wentworth in disbelief, the big names floundering as journeyman Simon Khan took an improbable victory at the BMW PGA Championship, American aficionados were gripped by the emergence of a potential star for the future at the Byron Nelson tournament.
Okay, so in the end 16-year-old amateur Jordan Spieth finished a relatively modest 16th, four-under-par for the competition after a final round of 72. But with previous rounds of 68, 69 and 67, Spieth looks to be an impressive newcomer. Having won the US Junior Amateur Championship and also being named the Rolex Junior player of the year in 2009, Spieth was granted an exception to take part in last weekend's tournament - an honour previously granted to the likes of Justin Leonard and Tiger Woods.
