Thursday, July 16, will see some of the best golfers in the world descend upon the Old Course at St Andrews in Fife, Scotland for the 2015 British Open, the third major championship of the calendar year and the oldest of the four Grand Slam events.

His career-best 61 in the third round provided more evidence he's practically capable of lapping the field when at the top of his game.

"To be able to shoot 20-under in three rounds is nice momentum," Spieth said, via ESPN's news services. "The finish, when I really didn't feel like tee to green I ...
