UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – In April, Jordan Spieth had a date with destiny. He cruised to his first major-championship title in record fashion at the Masters. On Father’s Day, Spieth will attempt to etch his name in the history books again. Spieth has a chance to do what only five golfers before him have done: win the first two legs of the Grand Slam.
It is a feat achieved by an exclusive fraternity of Craig Wood (1941), Ben Hogan (1951, 1953), Arnold Palmer (1960), Jack Nicklaus (1972) and most recently by Tiger Woods (2002).
Spieth is 18 holes away after shooting a 1-over 71 to share the 54-hole lead with three other golfers in the 115th U.
