In a year of firsts in the majors, Collin Morikawa might have topped them all.
His performance over four days at the British Open was unlike anything seen at Royal St. George's, even in such ideal weather for the English coast.
Jordan Spieth put on a Sunday charge that gave him a chance to win the British Open.
When it came up short, all he could think about was his Saturday meltdown, a bogey-bogey finish when he was in position to make birdie.

U.S. Open champion. Masters champion. Two-time major champion.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Torrey Pines has had its share of conflict over the years involving some of the top players in golf. Just not during such a taxing major as the U.S. Open.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jordan Spieth is more interested in what lies ahead than what's in his rearview mirror.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Jordan Spieth has a much clearer outlook now than he did the last time the PGA Championship was at Kiawah Island.
For starters, he wasn't even at Kiawah in 2012.
Spieth was in Denver that week preparing for the U.S.
