20-somethings are dominating the world of golf.
At 20-years-old Lexi Thompson is the latest to win on the LPGA Tour, clinching last week’s Meijer LPGA Classic for her fifth career win, the same number of victories owned by the young man dominating on the PGA Tour in Jordan Spieth. The reigning Masters and U.S. Open Champion turns 22-years-old today. In celebration of Spieth’s birthday, here’s a look at how two of the game’s best stack up.
