ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Something has to go wrong for Jordan Spieth at the British Open because it always does.
That was the case for Arnold Palmer when he was on the wrong end of history at St. Andrews in 1960. And for Jack Nicklaus, who could only wish he had packed his own pillow along with his golf clubs on the way to Muirfield in 1972. And for Tiger Woods, whose fiercest opponent in 2002 turned out to be Mother Nature.
Even the greatest players in pursuit of a Grand Slam need more than sheer talent.
