Saw a good one on Twitter. If Brooks wins this week, he'll have 6 majors (all US Opens and PGAs). If Speith wins, he'll have 4 and the grand slam. Which would you rather have?

I'd lean grand slam but it's a good question.

Grand Slam no doubt. Mainly the Masters.

Based on those 2 scenarios I think the grand slam. It has some meaning historically.

Now, as an American if you said 6 majors with it being 2 wins for each of the Master, US Opens, and PGA, I'd take that instead.

It has to be grand slam, such an elite club.

Agreed. 14 people have 7 majors. 6 have a grand slam.

Slam for sure but Speith has no chance. Would be fun to watch though.

I like the Slam more because it truly proves you're one of the greats by winning majors at so many different types of courses that require different types of shots. Not many pros have games that are that portable.

That took me a minute to think about it. That said, the Slam. Just shows how well rounded a player you are and it's such a difficult quest.

What part of him whining the entire way around the course would be fun to watch?

If he is playing well enough to win he will probably/possibly whine a lot less.

Whining or not Spieth is one of the most fun players to watch. Prime Phil-esque in the sense that he could send one anywhere at any moment and has some serious recovery skills. Nothing boring about that

Yep…… hole #13 on that final round of his British Open win was seriously interesting watching. Just when you thought he had seriously pissed away the tournament, he recovers from the near impossible and goes on to win.
