Jason Day won his first career major championship Sunday, and he did it in style.
Day finished at 20-under par for the tournament, which edged out Tiger Woods’ 19-under final score at the 2000 British Open to set the record for lowest score to ever win a major championship.

Jordan Spieth finished second at 18-under par, overtaking Rory McIlroy as the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world in the process.
Spieth also set a record for lowest combined score at majors in a calendar year.

McIlroy, competing for the first time since an ankle injury in July, was impressed with the both Spieth’s and Day’s performances.
