A birdie at the 5th combined with a bogey by Kuchar at the 6th allowed Spieth to re-open a two - stroke advantage, but a bogey - birdie swing at the 9th evened the score heading to the back - nine. The score remained level until the 13th, when Spieth hit his tee shot well to the right of the fairway. Forced to take an unplayable lie and drop from the practice area, he managed to get up - and - down to save bogey while Kuchar parred the hole to take the lead. At the par - 3 14th, however, Spieth nearly holed his tee shot and converted the birdie attempt to tie Kuchar. Then at the par - 5 15th, Spieth made a 48 - foot ( 15 m ) eagle putt to take the lead once again. With birdies on the next two holes Spieth played 14 -- 17 in five - under to take a two - stroke lead heading to the last. When Kuchar found a greenside bunker and made bogey, Spieth was able to tap in for par and win the championship by three strokes. Li Haotong birdied his last four holes for 63 ( − 7 ) and jump into third place at 274 ( − 6 ), the best finish for an Asian player at the Open Championship since Lu Liang - Huan in 1971, also at Royal Birkdale. With the victory, Spieth joined Jack Nicklaus as the only golfers to win three legs of the career Grand Slam before the age of 24.
