SPIETH ON TRACK

JORDAN SPIETH won the British Open without putting at his very best, he said yesterday, while predicting that he was on track to fine-tune the stroke in time for next week’s PGA Championship. Spieth will attempt to complete the career grand slam at the year’s final major at Quail Hollow next week. Before that, however, is the WGCBridgestone Invitational starting in Ohio. The Texan has won 11 times on the PGA Tour, including three majors, but does not have a World Golf Championships title on his resume, something he can rectify at Firestone Country Club in Akron. Spieth tees off with Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy and Australian Jason Day. While Spieth and Rory McIlroy have dominated the headlines recently, Dustin Johnson is still occupying the world No. 1 spot, despite a relatively lean recent stretch. Johnson hopes to find form this week as defending champion against a field that includes all of the world’s top players.
