Golf in Good Hands, Except There Is Too Many Hands to Count

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — The last two majors should emphasize how remarkable it was that Jordan Spieth won the first two.

Consider the numbers.

Spieth was only the fourth player since 1960 who went to the British Open with a chance to win the third leg of the Grand Slam. He was 14-under par at St. Andrews, a number topped only five previous times at golf's oldest championship.

This year, it didn't even get him into a playoff.

Then, he went to the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits with a chance to join Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods as the only players to win three majors in one year.
