Jordan Spieth has capped a wonderful year by winning the PGA of America player of the year award and the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average.
The 22-year-old American is the second youngest to capture both awards in the same year, following Tiger Woods who was 21 when he accomplished the feat in 1997.
During his sensational five-win 2014-15 campaign, Spieth won the US Masters and US Open to secure his first majors, missed a play-off by one shot at The Open and then finished runner-up at the USPGA Championship.
Spieth, who also enjoyed triumphs at the Valspar Championship and John Deere Classic, capped his season with an $11.48 million payday by winning the Tour Championship and FedExCup play-offs on Sunday to go back to world No 1.
Jason Day, who finished his season with four wins in seven events, including the Australian's first major at the PGA Championship, was runner-up in the player of the year award that is based on a points system.
Bubba Watson was third followed by Open winner Zach Johnson and Rickie Fowler.
Spieth posted an adjusted scoring average of 68.911 through 91 complete rounds to edge out Day (69.161 in 75 rounds) for the Vardon Trophy.
