Jordan Spieth clinched his first Open Championship on Sunday as he stole a march on fellow American Matt Kuchar.

A remarkable effort, which included three birdies and one eagle during the last five holes, gave him a score of 12-under par for the tournament.

Three shots ahead of Kuchar and even more incredible following bizarre scenes on the 13th where Spieth made bogey after taking a drop when his tee-shot went 127 yards right of the fairway.
