Jordan Spieth eyes history at PGA Championship
Jordan Spieth on playing multiple majors in a short time period
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Jordan Spieth could tell you he’s been in the top 10 in seven of his last nine PGA TOUR starts, including his 12th victory at the Valero Texas Open last month.
He could tell you the significance of a potential victory at this week’s 103th PGA Championship at Kiawah, where a fourth major win would give him the career Grand Slam – a distinction held by only Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.
Johnson’s current form, including a missed cut at the Masters in April, tells a different story.
“D.J. is just in a funk right now, and he’s not doing anything,” Westgate SuperBook golf oddsmaker Jeff Sherman said.
Bryson DeChambeau is a driving-range circus act who has failed to set the golf world on fire lately, either, and two-time PGA champ Brooks Koepka has fallen off the map after knee surgery.
So who’s the favorite on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island? A wildly inconsistent player who just stopped an 18-month winless streak and has not won a major since 2014, of course.
