That's right, if you're an Alabama fan his name may be a little familiar.
In 2012, Spieth helped lead Texas to the national championship, a 3-2 victory over Alabama in the match-play finals at Pacific Palisades, Calif. He soundly won his final match against Justin Thomas (which was expected to be the showdown pairing), while All-American Dylan Frittelli sank a dramatic 30-foot putt on the 18th green to secure the victory for the Longhorns.
Spieth, who at age 21 just tied the best score ever posted at The Masters, was a sophomore then.

Of course, Alabama won back-to-back titles the last two seasons, but today's win only helps put those Crimson Tide teams and how impressive a program Coach Jay Seawell has built into perspective.
