Number one spot consoles Spieth after major defeat

Jordan Spieth failed to add a third major title to his 2015 resume, but with his runner-up finish to Jason Day at Whistling Straits, the 22-year-old claimed another coveted honor: the world number one ranking. Spieth, the Masters and US Open winner, was touted as the player headed for history at the 97th PGA Championship, where he had a chance to join legendary Ben Hogan and superstar Tiger Woods as the only men to win three majors in a year. "This is as easy a loss as I've ever had because felt that I not only couldn't do much about it, as the round went on, I also accomplished one of my life-long goals in the sport of golf," Spieth said.
