CHARLOTTE – It didn’t take long in the aftermath of Rory McIlroy winning the Masters last month to complete the career Grand Slam for ESPN golf analyst and two-time major champion Curtis Strange to be asked who would be next to join the club.
“I told them to take a chill pill, OK?” he said.
Strange’s point was that it has only happened six times in the modern era, and McIlroy was the first to do so since Tiger Woods 25 years earlier. And yet a chance exists to see history made at back-to-back majors if Jordan Spieth can lift the Wanamaker trophy this week at Quail Hollow Club.
