Strong work ethic has Jordan Spieth in position for another major title

Why is Jordan Spieth in position to join Ben Hogan (1953) and Tiger Woods (2000) as the only men to win three professional majors in a year?

There's his work ethic, for one. At one point Friday he was the only player at the full-swing practice area, oblivious to the searing afternoon heat.

And in describing the 49-foot bunker shot he holed on No. 18, he revealed that he had consulted local caddies regarding some of Whistling Straits' 1,000-plus bunkers.

"That bunker, and I think one other, have much more sand than the rest," said Spieth, who is three off the PGA Championship lead after a second-round 67.
