Jordan Spieth feeling no pressure in another pursuit of history

A victory would make the 24-year-old Texan only the sixth player — and the youngest by about six months over Tiger Woods — to win the career Grand Slam.

Maybe that will change when Spieth gets to Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., for the 99th edition of the PGA Championship, and the conversation shifts from his British Open victory and that amazing finish at Royal Birkdale to the prospect of owning all four trophies from golf’s biggest events.

Woods was the most recent addition to golf’s most elite group when he won the U.S. Open and British Open in a span of 35 days in 2000.

Phil Mickelson picked up the third leg of the career Grand Slam at the 2013 British Open, and Rory McIlroy joined him by winning the claret jug a year later.

Mickelson at the U.S. Open, McIlroy at the Masters.

Spieth surely could draw on his experience from two years ago, when he won the Masters and U.S. Open at age 21, and headed to St. Andrews to pursue the calendar Grand Slam.

Of the five players with the career Grand Slam — Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen — no one ever won the final leg at the PGA Championship.

The only two players lacking the PGA were Tom Watson and Arnold Palmer.
