Winning the Masters still has to be a surreal feeling for 21-year-old Jordan Spieth, but that won’t stop him from taking an epic green jacket selfie on top of the Empire State Building.

Well-spoken, mature and talented. Those are three words that can be used to describe 2015 Masters champ, Jordan Spieth. At the ripe age of 21, Spieth has broken records on his way to earning the coveted green jacket which is awarded to the champion of one of the biggest tournaments of the year.

In fact, Spieth tied Tiger Woods’s record from 1997 for the best score in a Masters (-18) while becoming the second youngest player to ever win the tournament. He also set a record, recording an unbelievable 28 birdies in the three-day event as well as becoming the first wire-to-wire champion since Raymond Floyd in 1976.

It’s safe to say that Spieth has become an American icon basically overnight and everyone wants a piece of the young superstar, even comparing him to the next Tiger Woods. While it may be a while before anyone can compare to the type of success Woods has had during his career, Spieth is putting that conversation on the table with his first win in a major championship.

What’s more impressive is the fact that he carried the torch throughout the entire tournament from Friday to Sunday and didn’t falter at all. He won the even by four strokes over Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose.

One year ago, the then-20-year-old golfer tied for second place in the Masters while not placing any higher than 17th place in the other three majors. He even missed the cut at the 2014 PGA Championship.

Spieth is a name that will be on the rise for quite some time, but he still wants to take in this victory and enjoy it.

On Monday evening, Spieth took a little trip to New York City for the David Letterman Show, but had some time outside of filming to head to the Empire State Building.

While at the top of the famous skyscraper, Spieth acted like the 21-year-old kid that he is:

Green jacket and all, the young baby-faced superstar took a selfie on top of the Empire State Building — like a boss.

While there are many famous selfies out there, this one has to be right up there with the best. Just hours after winning the Masters, Spieth acts just like one of us and takes an epic selfie with the coveted jacket on.
