SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Jordan Spieth handled defeat admirably Sunday at the PGA Championship.
“This is, by far, the best loss I’ve ever had,” Spieth said after finishing runner-up to Jason Day.
There is solace in being crowned world No. 1 for the first time in your career.
With his solo second-place showing, and Rory McIlroy finishing in 17th position, Spieth was able to claim the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking.
“I accomplished one of my life-long goals and in the sport of golf,” Spieth said.
