Top trio have one last shot at glory

Tick, tick, tick. Time is running out for Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy to make their marks on the 2016 major championship season.

At the dawn of the year, this triumvirate bestrode the golfing world like titans, the new powerhouse trio to dominate their sport in the same style as Nicklaus, Palmer, and Player.

With nearly eight months gone and three majors in the books, three has become four with Dustin Johnson’s back-to-back US Open and WGC-Bridgestone Invitational victories gaining him entry to the party.
