Here are all the records Jordan Spieth set during his win at The Masters.

So what other records did he set?
Spieth also set the record for best 36-hole score at -14, the best 54-hole score at -16.
The record for the most birdies at The Masters when he landed his 26th. He would finish the day with 28 birdies.

He was also the first player to ever reach -19 at The Masters, though he would eventually finish at -18.

Second youngest to win a major behind only Tiger Woods.

Some might say Woods’ win in 1997 was more dominant than Spieth because Woods won by 12 strokes. Spieth on the other hand had to fend off veterans like Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson who both shot -14. That score would’ve won either men the tournament in 73 of the 78 previous tournaments.
Mickelson & Rose's score of -14 would have made playoff/won 73 of previous 78 Masters.

Spieth: -23, 0 Rds over par, T2 & Win
Woods: -21, 0 Rds over par, Win & T8
The first to win after finishing as a runner-up since 1984.
Before Spieth, the previous player to win the year after finishing runner-up in Masters was Ben Crenshaw in 1984. Fitting this week.

Not really a record, but his career earnings so far have been just as impressive.
Spieth's career earnings will now be $14,230,915, just outside the PGA Tour career top 100, after only 60 events.
