His position was the best recorded by an amateur in history of the tournament and chairman John Beckert said Spieth "added a great energy" to proceedings.
"He certainly proved that he could compete at this level. I'm sure everyone will be interested to see how he follows that up on the course this year," Mr Beckert remarked.
