Rolex Testimonee Spieth wins The Masters

Rolex Testimonee Jordan Spieth has won the 79th Masters Tournament, taking his first Green Jacket at Augusta National Golf Club, Georgia, US.

Leading the field from round one, Spieth was four strokes clear going into Sunday’s final round and held his nerve to shoot a closing 70. Finishing on a 72-hole total of 270, Spieth matched the scoring record set by fellow Rolex Testimonee, Tiger Woods in 1997.

On the immaculate fairways of Augusta National Golf Club, the world No. 2 also broke the 36-hole record (130) and 54-hole record (200) on his way to an historic victory.

Proud Rolex Testimonee since 2013, Spieth’s victory represents his first major win, having finished tied for second at the same event last year.

The American adds his name to an impressive list of Rolex Testimonees to have worn the legendary winners’ Green Jacket, each one sharing Rolex’s values of precision, excellence, heritage and respect.

Rolex Director of Image & Communication, Arnaud Boetsch, said: “Rolex would like to congratulate Spieth on his outstanding Masters victory.

"Yet again, the 2015 Tournament saw an abundance of skill, excitement and sportsmanship on display. Rolex is extremely proud of its longstanding relationship with The Masters and looks forward to seeing the players, officials and the many thousands of patrons again in 2016."

Amongst the top twenty finishers were Rolex Testimonees; Phil Mickelson (T2), Paul Casey (T6), Rickie Fowler (T12) and Tiger Woods (T17).

Meanwhile Canadian Corey Conners, qualifying as a finalist in the Rolex sponsored US Amateur earned Low Amateur honours, finishing on +5 over 36 holes.

An International Partner of the Masters, Rolex has supported this event since the late 1990s. The Swiss watchmaker’s commitment to golf on the global stage is steadfast, spanning the golfing calendar from elite through to amateur levels.
