Texas Ex Jordan Spieth wins US Open for second major in a row

Spieth's star continues to ascend after another remarkable performance on a big stage.

Former Texas Longhorns golfer Jordan Spieth served noticed that his resounding win at The Masters was hardly a fluke, winning his second consecutive major at the US Open over the weekend at Chambers Bay.

In shooting 5-under par, Spieth became the youngest player to ever win The Masters and the US Open in a career and the first golfer since Gene Sarazen in 1922 to win multiple majors at 21 or younger. However, it wasn't always easy, as he nearly blew a three-shot lead by double bogeying on 17, but Dustin Johnson brutally missed his playoff-forcing putt to mark the end of his own collapse from a two-stroke lead with nine holes remaining.
