Jordan Spieth chasing career grand slam

ByMark Zecchino

All eyes in the golfing world will be focused on Jordan Spieth this week as he chases his career grand slam at the PGA Championship.

Spieth is looking to become the youngest player ever to achieve his career grand slam ahead of the likes of Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.

Spieth is considered one of the favourites heading into the tournament and a victory at Quail Hollow would catapult the 24 year-old into golfing immortality.

He comes into the final major of 2017 playing some of his best golf on the heels of winning the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale just two weeks ago.

Mark Zecchino and Bob Weeks discussed Spieth’s chances on this weeks episode of Golf Talk Canada.
