No Jordan Spieth has not won the U.S. Open or the Masters yet this year, but he wasted little time in sending a message that he is ready for the majors and more, by shooting 30 under par on the Plantation Course at Kapalua, Maui to win the real 2016 PGA Tour opener, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

Spieth played well overall and putted better, on some tricky Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore greens on the Plantation Course, that’s on a few Top 100 courses list.
