Tacoma (United States) (AFP) - Two down and two to go - and Jordan Spieth believes that an unprecedented clean sweep of golf's four majors in the same year is possible.

The greats of the game - Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tiger Woods - have all tried and all have failed to achieve that feat.

Spieth though has now put himself in that Grand Slam position by winning the US Open in thrilling style at Chambers Bay on Sunday two months after lifting his first major at the Masters.
