Windermere, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jordan Spieth started Sundays final round with a 7-shot lead, and it only grew from there. Spieth closed with a 6- under 66 and he cruised to a dominating 10-stroke victory at the Hero World Challenge. Spieth finished at 26-under-par 262. After setting the 54-hole scoring record, he easily broke the tournaments 72-hole scoring mark as well. Davis Love III (2000) and Tiger Woods (2007) had set the old mark of 266 at Sherwood Country Club. It was interesting, I never had that before, Spieth said about playing with a big lead. It got off to a dream start. I went 3-under through the first four (holes) and from there it made it a lot easier. I was able to coast on the hard holes and got an eagle there at seven to really step out front, and then the back nine, I just tried to enjoy every single hole. Spieth dominated at Isleworth Golf & Country Club as he set the record for largest margin of victory in event history and he became the first player in tournament history to win in wire-to-wire fashion with no ties. Henrik Stenson finished a distant second at 16-under-par 272 after a closing with a 3-under 69. Patrick Reed (68) and Keegan Bradley (70) shared third place at minus-15. Jason Day matched Spieths 66 and that helped the Australian grab fifth place at 14-under-par 274. Rickie Fowler (68) and Justin Rose (71) tied for sixth at minus-11. Tournament host Tiger Woods overcame at triple-bogey at the 13th en route to carding an even-par 72. He shared 17th place at even-par 288. It feels good to have that rush again. I didnt hit the ball probably as well as I would like, certainly my short game was awful, but the good sign is I played four straight days with no pain and I was able to hit the golf ball as hard as I wanted to, said Woods, who was limited to eight events in 2014 due to back problems. I was cutting corners, carrying bunkers again. Its nice to have my numbers up to that again. Over the holidays, I can refine it, Woods added If there was any question as to whether someone could catch Spieth, the 21- year-old ended that discussion quickly. He rolled in a 10-footer for birdie at the first. Spieth followed with a 7-foot birdie effort at three and drained an 18-foot putt for birdie at the fourth. That burst pushed his lead to 10 strokes. After Bradley inched within eight of Spieths lead, Spieth poured in an eagle try at the seventh to move to 25-under par, and he followed with a pair of pars. I looked at the board after nine and saw (the lead) was 11 making the turn, which is kind of ironic because I did that in college looking at the board going off 10 tee, so that was a cool experience doing that here in this tournament, said Spieth, who won a college event at Isleworth. Around the turn, Spieth made birdie at 10 and followed that with three pars in a row. Spieth knocked his approach shot over the green at the 14th and hit a poor chip back off the front of the green. He chipped on and 2-putted for a double- bogey. At the par-3 15th, Spieth bounced back with a 6-foot birdie effort. He also birdied the 17th and closed with a par at the last to wrap up the dominating win. NOTES: Spieth earned $1 million for the win ... Spieth was also the youngest winner in event history ...

Eighth-seeded Dallas rolled to a 113-92 victory over San Antonio on Wednesday night, snapping a 10-game skid against the Spurs and evening their first-round series at a game apiece. Dallas didnt relent in Game 2 after watching a 10-point lead evaporate in the final eight minutes of the series opener Sunday. "Game 1 actually helped a lot more than today," Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki said. "We were down after Game 1, but in this building to be up 10 with six or seven minutes left, I think that gave us a lot of confidence coming into this one. Just keep executing the game plan." It was Dallas first playoff victory since June 12, 2011, when it rebounded from an 0-2 deficit to defeat the Miami Heat for the NBA title. If not for the final eight minutes of the series opener, the Mavericks would have a 2-0 lead entering Game 3 on Saturday. "It feels great, but its nothing to celebrate," Dallas point guard Jose Calderon said. "I think we have to keep doing what were doing. I think we played two really good games." In Game 2, the Mavericks used an aggressive offence and a brutal defensive effort that discombobulated the normally even-keeled Spurs, who finished the regular season with the leagues best record. Monta Ellis scored 21 points, Shawn Marion added 20 points, Nowitzki had 16, Devin Harris had 18 and Calderon 12 for Dallas, which never trailed after the opening minutes of the second quarter. Manu Ginobili had 27 points, Tony Parker added 12 and Tim Duncan 11 for the Spurs, who did not have any other player score more than seven points. "They beat us in every aspect of the game," Ginobili said. "They played harder. Our defence was soft (and) not as aggressive as theirs. Not that I dont expect them to play hard. We know they are a tough team, but having such a poor performance in the playoffs bothers me." San Antonios ineptness had as much to do with tying the series as Dallas stellar play. The Spurs averaged 14.4 turnovers during the regular season, but had 15 with 3 minutes left in the first half. They finished with 24 turnovers, which resulted in 33 points for the Mavericks. "Just being very active," Ellis said. "Not put them on the free-throw line. Trust that the help was going to be there. We locked in to the game plan that we had. They made some careless turnovers. That was good for us." Dallas was extremely physical in the first half whenever Parker and Ginobili drove the lane. "NBA playyoff games are physical," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said.dddddddddddd "If you dont have the right kind of posture and disposition, youre going to knocked back on your heels and your butt and tonight we did a better job of hitting first in some of those instances." San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich was dismayed early when no fouls were called -- not that it mattered when they were. San Antonio finished 18 for 29 on free throws. "Its a bad combination to not play good defence at one end and give the ball up at the other end and not shoot free throws very well, either," Popovich said. "Thats a bad combination at both ends of the floor. That means you get your butt kicked and thats what happened tonight." Dallas also continued to crowd San Antonios 3-point shooters. Aside from Ginobilis 5-for-6 shooting, the Spurs were 5 for 14 long range after going 3 for 17 in the opener. "Its pretty frustrating," San Antonio wing Danny Green said. "Theyre doing a good job of getting, not just to me, but all our shooters; showing us a lot of respect. But weve got to find other ways to get it done. We cant rely on our Big Three to carry us every night. Got to find a way to get involved, push the pace offensively." The Mavericks attacked the basket with the same intensity, finishing with 44 points. San Antonio pulled within 61-56 with 8:38 remaining in the third quarter when Kawhi Leonard made two of three free throws, but it was the closest it would get in the second half. NOTES: Popovich received a standing ovation before the game after being recognized as the NBA Coach of the Year. Spurs owner Peter Holt presented Popovich with the Red Auerbach trophy, which he has won three times. ... After assigning Spurs nemesis Joey Crawford to officiate Game 1, the league had Danny Crawford on hand for Game 2 to the chagrin of the Mavericks fans. But just as in the opener, both officials reserved most calls and non-calls for the opposition. Crawfords lack of calls led Popovich to scream at Crawford throughout the first half. ... Academy Award-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones sat courtside beside Holt. ... Nowitzki was assessed a technical foul with 1:38 remaining in the first half after Ginobili was fouled by Marion on a 3-point attempt. Marion touched Ginobilis hip as he released the ball, but the Argentinian appeared to exaggerate the contact when he fell to the floor. ... After scrambling to capture a loose ball under the basket, Tiago Splitter flung an overhead, two-handed no-look pass to an open Ginobili for a 3-pointer with 4:44 remaining in the third quarter. ' ' '
