Nicklaus shares high praise for Jordan Spieth

Jordan Spieth has made quite the impression on golf’s greatest champion, Jack Nicklaus.

Jordan Spieth joined Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win three legs of the career grand slam by the age of 24.
Much like Sergio Garcia’s par save at the 13th hole at Augusta National in the final round of the Masters, I believe Jordan’s bogey at the 13th hole today was the key to his round.

To follow up that bogey on 13 with great golf shots and great putts, and play the final five holes in five under par, I was just very happy for him and very impressed to watch all that guts, determination and skill.

Much was said today about the fact Jordan and I were able to win three legs of the Grand Slam before the age of 24.

If you look at his victory total, his win today and the way he won today, Jordan has shown an amazing display of maturity for someone so young, and he has been doing that for a quite a while.”
