Jordan Spieth's Star On The Rise After Second Major Win This Year

Jordan Spieth won the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, and his play "salvaged this Open, making it one to remember for all the right reasons" (AP, 6/22). If you "haven't seen the future of golf, you need to get your glasses cleaned" (L.A. TIMES, 6/22). In terms of popularity, this win puts Spieth "closer to No. 1 Rory McIlroy." The "changing of the guard could take place at St. Andrews" in the upcoming British Open (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 6/22).

AT&T runs a full-page ad in USA Today congratulating Spieth on his second major championship of the year: "Two For Two." Spieth is splashed on the Under Armour homepage, with an action shot from yesterday and the headline, “Two Majors. Two Wins. And He’s Just Getting Started” (THE DAILY).
