The remarkable difference between Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson at majors

Can DJ end the long wait this weekend? Computer says no.

Britain Open Golf Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson. David J. Phillip David J. Phillip

CONSIDERING JORDAN SPIETH has already won two majors this year and Dustin Johnson has yet to win one, it is easy to see one golfer has enjoyed more success. But how they got there is pretty jarring.

Through the first round of the PGA Championship, Dustin Johnson is now a whopping 20-under in the opening rounds of the majors this year, four strokes better than Spieth. If we include the second rounds, Johnson is still ahead of Spieth, at 27-under before the cut in the four majors combined.

But things take a turn for the worse for Johnson on the weekends where he is 4-over in the third and fourth rounds combined. Meanwhile, Spieth has played 13-under on the weekends, 17 strokes better than Johnson, leading to the two wins and a fourth-place finish.

    NAMA got a bigger offer, so what is the issue? They are (allegedly) there to get the best price for the properties they have on their books. So Dublin GAA should have gone higher?

    As in Nama use the funding from the sale to help weaker counties compete with Dublinโ€™s resources?

    I donโ€™t think Dublin need another training complex (although the GAA would have like a smaller stadium in Dublin) but building ANOTHER hotel is a ridiculous idea.

    So NAMA recieved a higher offer did they for this Complex. I would double check that. Especially with those gangsters and their dealings.

    If it was the FAI or the IRFU you can be sure that a way would be found to accommodate them.
