Your right Player and Hogan did win all 4.

Walter Hagen (11), Watson (8), Palmer , Snead and Tom Watson all on 7 just missed out by one major.

McIlroy choking at the Masters, a great sight.

It only seems recently it has become a BIG thing. You’d rather win 5 majors than all 4. Big Phil just needs the US Open (I think he has been RU 5/6 times) Spieth just needs the USPGA Ben Hogan and Gary Player never managed it. Rory just needs to focus on winning majors and not the slam. He needs to pass Faldo as the No.1 European (he has 6) good point there, I think player has won all 4 majors

It was on TV the other night.

Sarazen, Hogan, Player, Nicklaus and Woods.

I don't think I'll ever tire of making this point golfers should never be allowed remove their hats during the game, and more so after it. They all look like freaks with their zombie foreheads

why is yesterday described as a collapse he was a good few shots behind, he shot +2. Spieth had two crap rounds in between two goodones.

He had a 4 foot putt at the second to put himself level with Reed, he was saying after the round on Saturday how all the pressure was on Reed and he was looking forward to chasing him down which he did but then when the prsssure was on he wilted and didn't even put up a challenge, 4th worst score of the day tells you all! While you look at Reed after each bogey he responded with a birdie at the next hole or the one after! Mentally he's a lot stronger than Rory.

Odd coincidence that 5 men have also won the 4 tennis grand slams. Laver, Agassi, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic.

And Perry, Budge and Emerson, albeit they were before the Open era.

Those five named above won in the Open era. That's the last fifty years.

Spieth will certainly surpass him. I'd be shocked if Spieth doesn't have at least 10 majors by the time he walks away from competitive golf.

Spieth is 4 years younger than Rory so don't let the fact he currently has less than him be a factor. He won't be long catching up.
