Where does Spieth's year rank all time?

2nd behind Tiger's 2000

Gotta wait and see how he does over the last 4 events. I'm gonna go with 2nd as of now. Byron Nelson's 1945 was unreal, but it helped a lot that everyone else was serving in the military.

Bobby Jones really doesn't get enough credit for that 1930 year:

- For the British Amateur, Jones had to win 8 consecutive 18-hole match-play contests. Then, he had to play a 36 hole match-play final. He won it 7 and 6.

- Jones then had to win the British Open the week after playing nine matches in the British Amateur.

- He won the U.S. Amateur with two stroke-play qualifying rounds, two 18 hole match-play contests, and three 36 hole match-play contests. He won the finals match 8 and 7.

- To win the U.S. Open, Jones needed to two-putt from 40 feet. Instead, he holed out.

Other interesting tidbits:

In total, Jones won 10 of the last 15 majors he played in (from 1926 to 1930).

Jones held a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech and a B.A. in English Literature from Harvard. After three semesters at Emory Law School, he passed the bar exam.

I could be wrong about this, but I also think Bobby Jones is the only individual to receive two separate ticker-tape parades down Broadway.

Just a plug for a pretty amazing human being.

Where is the goat jack in this discussion?
