In fact, Nicklaus didn't win another until he was 25. I'm not saying Spieth is going to win 18 majors, but he's the best golfer in the world currently, and is right on pace with Nicklaus.

One thing of note regarding Spieth: what a class act he is. He loses with class, and wins with class. His parents raised a fine young man, and he is very easy to root for.

Tiger's career collapsed at 14 majors (karma). Hopefully Karma won't have to take a driver to Spieth's head and derail his career. Shouldn't have to, because Spieth is WAY more humble than Tiger EVER was.
Yea he has as good a chance as anyone playing but that might end up being one of those records that never gets broken. Looked like a sure thing for woods a few years ago.

I agree with you on the class act as well. Great ambassador for the game.
