If that wasn't enough, he has a game with caddie Michael Greller in which they toss a ball on the green toward the cup. Spieth made it on the first try. Koepka finished the story, smiled and said, "He's the golden child." No doubt, Spieth has done some extraordinary things for a 21-year-old. The stories have been told countless times, yet they are no less amazing. Spieth started his first year as a pro with no sta- tus on any tour and ended it playing alongside Tiger Woods and Phil Mickel- son in the Presidents Cup. The first time he played with Mickelson, he closed birdie-birdie-birdie-ea- gle for a 62. Playing with Woods for the first time in a practice round at the Presidents Cup, he made a hole-in-one. In his Masters debut, he played in the fi- nal group at age 20. And now a green jacket for the golden child. "He'll be fabulous for the game," Graeme McDowell said. Most appealing about Spieth is the simplicity of his life and the toughness in his game. He is 21 and old school. Spieth has had the same swing coach since he was 12 and his father took him to see Cameron McCor- mick at Brook Hollow in Dallas. He uses social me- dia instead of being con- sumed by it. Spieth has the same girlfriend he met in high school, Anne Verret, who graduated from Texas Tech in December and now works on fundraising proj- ects for a youth golf pro- gram in Dallas. He spent last week with threeofhisbestfriendsfrom Dallas — seniors at Texas, TCU and LSU. They became what Spieth described as "whitenoise"duringtheeve- ningwhenhewantedtotake his mind off golf. "It felt like we were back home on a random weekend," Spieth said. "I couldn't partake in what they were doing. But it was fun to watch." His father played base- ball at Lehigh. His mother played basketball at Mora- vian College in Pennsylva- nia. His younger brother, Steven, is a 6-foot-6 shoot- ing guard at Brown. And then there's Ellie, his 14-year-old sister with neu- rological issues that place her on the autism spec- trum. Ellie reminds Spieth and the rest of the family what matters in life. She was at the TPC Boston last year with the whole clan, bragging about her big brothers, having a ball. Players have to take a shuttle through the woods to the eighth tee. When Spieth spotted Ellie in the gallery, he called to her. She ran to the cart and sat on his lap for the ride, and it was hard to tell who was having more fun. Golden child? Maybe. More than a Midas touch, however, Spieth has Texas grit. Spieth FROM PAGE 1 attributed to the College Football Playoff," Leech said. "While there were four additional postsea- son bowl games last year versus the previous year that's, relatively speaking, immaterial." The College Football Playoff replaced the BCS last season. The play- off matched the four top teams in the nation, as se- lected by a selection com- mittee, in two bowl semifi- nals with the winners play- ing for the national title. The BCS paired the top two teams in the country as chosen by polls and com- puter rating in a national championship game. ESPN pays the College Football Playoff about $470 million a year for the me- dia rights to the three play- off games and four other bowls and most of the money is distributed to the 10 FBS conferences and schools. The conference commissioners who cre- ated the College Football Playoff considered hold- ing the semifinals at cam- pus venues, but ultimately decided to work within the bowl system. "The overall health of the bowl systems is so im- portant to our game be- cause of the opportuni- ties it creates for student- athletes," College Football Playoff Executive Director Bill Hancock said. The final BCS TV deal was worth about $180 mil- lion per year to the confer- ences. The increase in revenue comes at a time when run- ning a major college ath- letic program is becoming more costly. All FBS con- ferences are planning to raise the value of an ath- letic scholarship by several thousand dollars to cover the full cost of attendance. The NCAA also now allows schools to pay for meals for athletes, and more costly reforms are in the works. "It couldn't have come at a better time," Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson said of the 63 percent in- crease in postseason reve- nue. "Every athletic depart- ment is being challenged with a cost of attendance issue. For there to be a sig- nificant spike in football bowl and College Football Playoff money at least gives our athletic directors some breathing rooms with busi- ness decisions they need to make." The NCAA postsea- son bowl certification re- port also includes a sur- vey of 243 players, 23 head coaches and 40 athletic ad- ministrators to gauge level of satisfaction with the bowls. The report said 34 percent of those respond- ing were extremely satis- fied with the bowl experi- ence, 48 percent were very satisfied and 15 percent were moderately satisfied. In 2013, only 19 percent of respondents said they were extremely satisfied and 34 percent they were moder- ately satisfied. Leech said it was that feedback more than the finances that suggest the bowl system is healthy. "Here's what the stu- dent-athletes and the coaches and administra- tors are saying about their experience and it is by and large positive," Leech said. Football FROM PAGE 1 title run in the Algarve Cup last month. Solo, considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world, has said she has been in therapy and has an improved frame of mind. Brian, the youngest player on the roster at 22, played for Virginia in the women's College Cup fi- nal in early December be- fore accompanying the U.S. team to Brazil for a tour- nament. She kicked off this year by winning her second straight Hermann Trophy as the top women's col- lege soccer player and was the first overall pick in the National Women's Soccer League draft by the Hous- ton Dash. She joins seven other players making their World Cup roster debuts, includ- ing goalkeepers Ashlyn Harris and Alyssa Nae- her; defenders Whitney Engen, Julie Johnston and Meghan Klingenberg; and forwards Sydney Leroux and Christen Press. They'll join forwards Abby Wambach, Alex Mor- gan and Alex Rodriguez; midfielders Lauren Holiday, CarliLloyd,Megan Rapinoe, Shannon Boxx, Tobin Heath and Heather O'Reilly; and defendersLoriChalupny,Ali Krieger, Kelley O'Hara and Becky Sauerbrunn. The roster must be sub- mitted to FIFA by May 25. Soccer FROM PAGE 1 and 25 strikes in his first 50 pitches, he threw 46 more before his exit, and 36 of them were strikes. The rookie, acquired in the Josh Donaldson trade with Toronto last Novem- ber, began 2014 in the low minor leagues, but ended the season pitching for the Blue Jays. In spring train- ing he was enough of a dominant force to pitch his way into the Oakland rotation. And while he took the loss last Thursday against the Rangers while he was under the influence of the cold bug that has been carving its way through the Oakland clubhouse, Graveman bounced back nicely Tuesday. As was the case Monday for starter Scott Kazmir, Graveman took the mound with a lead before having thrown a pitch. Sam Fuld opened the game with a double to right, moved to third on a Mark Canha grounder and scored when Ben Zobrist lifted a run- scoring fly ball to right field off Astros starter Brad Peacock. A's DH Billy Butler pad- ded the Oakland lead with an RBI double in the sixth that extended his hitting streak to nine games, then scored on Stephen Vogt's two-out single. Peacock, who was in the A's organi- zation before Oakland sent him to Houston in the Jed Lowrie trade of early 2013, didn't pitch badly.
