Despite the Masters collapse, when it comes to majors, there is Jordan Spieth and there is everybody else
Despite a 3-hole collapse for the ages at the Masters, Jordan Spieth still managed another top-5 finish at a major and he continues to dominate the sport when it matters most.
Here are Spieth's finishes in the last five majors: 1, 1, 4, 2, 2. That's five straight top-5s including four top-2s. It's early, but it is a run reminiscent of Jack Nicklaus, who not only won 18 majors, but also finished second a whopping 19 times.
To get a sense of just how good Spieth has been in the majors, the chart below is a look at the 14 golfers who made the cut in each of the last five majors and their cumulative score in those 20 rounds of golf. Keep in mind, these are the elite golfers, the only players good enough to play on Sunday in each of the last five majors, and yet there is still a huge gap between Spieth and everybody else.
