From a mathematical point if view it is not really that far out on a limb to say Spieth goes 0fer his next 20. There are a ton of great players and the gap between them has never been smaller. Day, Rose, DJ, Stenson, Willett, Bubba, Rickie, Rory... exactly how big of an edge do you think Spieth has on these guys? Not to mention the guys on the way up like Berger, Koepka, Matsuyama, etc.
Not saying he won't, just saying that statistically it would not be that unlikely. If he's 10-1 to win every major he enters (and I think that's generous), the chances of him not winning 20 in a row are pretty good. We saw today how easy a couple bad swings can sink even a top pro, when the competition is so evenly matched in talent level.
