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.”
