Well, Jack Nicklaus told me last week that Jordan Spieth is essentially doing that nine years after Tiger won his 14th and last major championship.

Hideki heating up
Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas have been mentioned as Player of the Year candidates. Time to throw Hideki Matsuyama into the mix. The fledgling star took a torch to Firestone over the weekend, cruising the Akron property in a record 61 strokes on Sunday to capture the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
