The awful greens were definitely a factor though. Same as they were with Spieth on 17. I don't think there was any way to stop that first putt from where it was.
It would be something to have a triple crown winner and golf grand slam winner in the same year. I imagine you could have won a lot of money betting on that at the beginning of the year. I guess it is still very unlikely, but the rate at which he is winning or coming in second and third in tournaments this year is pretty amazing.
