Spieth hungry to secure his career Grand Slam

-

THREE-TIME major winner Jordan Spieth resists calling this week’s PGA Championsh­ip his best chance to complete a career Grand and Slam, but the way y he’s playing, it just t might be.

The 28-year-old d American tees off f early on Friday at t Southern Hills alongside Tiger Woods and

Rory Mcilroy in his sixth xth try at completing a sweep of wins in all four major tournament­s.

“I think it would be pretty cool,” Spieth said. “Having won the other three, it’s an elephant in the room for me. It’s a goal of mine.”

Eighth-ranked Spieth won last month’s US PGA Heritage title and was runner-up last week at Dallas in his hometown PGA Byron Nelson event.

Now he hungers to add to a major trophy haul that includes the 2015 Masters and US Open and 2017 British Open.

“If you just told me I was going to win one tournament the rest of my life, I’d say I want to win this one,” Spieth (pictured) said.

“Long term … you feel like you kind of accomplish­ed golf when you win a career Grand Slam.”
