Spieth, 31, shot a final-round 62 to finish tied for third at the CJ Cup and spark belief that his game is rounding into form.

Throw in the fact that he has seen Quail Hollow before during the regular PGA Tour stop – four tries, zero top-25s – and features wall-to-wall, sloped Bermudagrass that he grew up on in Dallas, and this could represent one of Spieth’s best chances to join golf’s most exclusive club.

When Tiger Woods climbed the mountain back in 2000 we did not have the internet the way we do now or social media or television coverage discussing the idea around the clock.
