He was only one shot down, I wouldn't rank it with some of the incredible Sunday back 9 comebacks I have seen like Nicklaus at the 86 Masters for example and I am sure there are many more just not recalling them at this moment.

Yes it certainly wasn't the greatest comeback in the history of golf. But given the context of what happened in the Masters and losing a 3 shot lead made it very impressive, to me. 13 could have been much worse, but a bogey was salvaged. Then birdie, birdie, eagle, birdie.
That 4 hole stretch to win a major is the stuff legends are made of.

Yeah it was a great performance, not suggesting otherwise. And yeah sometimes saving bogey is just as important as that birdie putt.

Arnie was 7 shots back at the start of the final round of the 1960 US Open lol. Insane.

That is amazing. Probably took a few guys playing less than their best, along with a heck of a round from Arnold. Sounds like a fun one to watch on a classic sports network.
I think when his career is over Spieth will be right up there with guys like Palmer, Nicklaus, and Woods. And this performance will be on the career highlight reel.

I just read up on it. Nicklaus was an amateur and had the lead mid round but faded. They had it on the top 10 memorable majors. Along with the 66 US open in which Palmer had a 7 shot lead with 9 to play and lost to Billy Casper in a playoff.
This one may not make the top 10 list, but I will remember it.
