Five years ago, Jordan Spieth was a Texas kid with dreams of making it on the PGA Tour. Now he’s a three-time major champion with a big head start on joining one of golf’s most exclusive clubs.Spieth made a brilliant charge on Sunday at the Open Championship, pouring in four straight par breakers on the back nine to zoom past Matt Kuchar and into the winner’s circle. The victory means that he’s a single PGA Championship title away from the career Grand Slam, a feat that would put him on a level with names like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player.
Of course, Spieth has had plenty to smile about for the past half-decade, even before he was within striking distance of making history. Let’s take a closer look at the 23-year-old’s life of lag putts and luxury.
