During the last 18 holes Spieth went on to extend his lead as he produced a six-under-par 67 at the Kapalua Resort.

"I'll try and continue exactly what we were doing last year," the 2015 Masters and US Open champion told reporters after his victory.

The young American is now only the second player to finish a 72-hole event on the PGA Tour at 30-under-par or lower, emulating Ernie Els following the South African's win at the same event 13 years ago.

Patrick Reed finished in second position, while Brandt Snedeker and Brooks Koepka were tied for third.
