Collin Morikawa is the one to catch now after brilliant triumph at The Open to win his second major... but then again so were Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth once upon a time

The last two men to win their second major faster than Collin Morikawa had a date in common: 1902, the year of their birth.

Gene Sarazen was quickest, Bobby Jones not far behind. They were born the year the Boer War ended, the year Land of Hope and Glory was first performed, Manchester United and Real Madrid were founded, postcards as we know them — picture on the front, message on the back — were invented, as were teddy bears. It was a long time ago.

See footage of Sarazen now and golf was a very different game.
