History-chasing Jordan Spieth now eyeing Claret Jug

Jordan Spieth made another entry into golf’s history books and steadied himself for a third leg of an historic calendar Grand Slam after dramatically sealing a Masters-US Open double at Chambers Bay early on Monday morning.

The 21-year-old from Dallas became the youngest winner of the US Open since the legendary Bobby Jones in 1923 and the youngest to win two career majors since Gene Sarazen the previous year.

He is the sixth golfer in history to capture the Masters-US Open double in the same year, joining Craig Wood, Ben Hogan, who did it twice, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, who last achieved the feat in 2002.
