Jordan Spieth Wins Masters – Breaks Texas Drought

Jordan Spieth won the Masters Sunday in record-tying fashion carving out an 18 under par total of 270 for the tournament.  He also broke a drought for Texas players winning the tournament that had lasted for 20 years since Ben Crenshaw claimed his second Masters title in 1995. Texans have now won a total of 13 Green Jackets in the 79 years the tournament has been played – or almost 16% of the total titles.  Here is a list of the Texans who have put on the Green Jacket: Byron Nelson – 1937 and 1942; Ralph Guhldahl – 1939; Jimmy Demaret – 1940, 1947 and 1950; Ben Hogan – 1951 and 1953; Jack Burke, Jr – 1956; Charles Coody – 1971; Ben Crenshaw – 1984 and 1995; and Jordan Spieth – 2015.
