WOBURN, England, (Reuters) - U.S. Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth could go down as the greatest putter golf has ever seen, Europe's Ryder Cup talisman Ian Poulter told Reuters on Monday.

World number two Spieth has won four times this season and is breathing down Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy's neck at the top of the rankings.

The 22-year-old American, aiming to become the first player to land the opening three majors of the year since Ben Hogan in 1953, also came within one shot of making the three-way playoff won by compatriot Zach Johnson at this month's British Open.
