TULSA, Okla. – Only five golfers throughout history have won all four modern majors that make up the career Grand Slam: Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen.
Jordan Spieth could add his name to that list this week at Southern Hills with a win at the PGA Championship, and he has a few things working in his favor.
For starters, only the greens at Southern Hills are bent grass. The rest of the golf course features similar bermuda grass to that Spieth grew up playing and is comfortable on.
Secondly, Spieth comes in with good form, having won in a playoff at the RBC Heritage the week after the Masters and finishing runner-up to K.
