Spieth on the moment Johnson missed putt

  • Intro:

    American Jordan Spieth spoke on Sunday after his victory saw him become the youngest U.S. Open Champion since 1923, with his win in the 115th U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jordan Spieth, 2015 U.S. Open Champion (on winning in his caddy's hometown):

    "I closed the door and we went away from any cameras when it was happening, when the finish was happening with Michael. He just said, Dude, be positive. I was sitting there going, I think Dustin is going to make this, what did I do? How did I possibly let this happen? He said, Be positive. You just never know. I was sitting with him when that second putt missed. I just -- my eyes were wide looking at the TV screen and he was silent as well. We didn't really know what to do. Then got up. He said, Dude, give me a hug, you did it. It was really cool. It's amazing. What a special place for Michael. He was married here. He shares arguably one of the best moments of his life here. I was able to add to that history that he has at Chambers Bay. That was probably the best work Michael has ever done this week to get me through. At Augusta I was on and making everything and striking the ball fantastic. He was the one that got me through this week when I wanted to get down when things weren't going well.

    SOUNDBITE (English) Jordan Spieth, 2015 U.S. Open Champion (on holding two of the major championships):

    "It's kind of cool. I think to have two players hold the four majors and Ricky having the fifth. It's awesome that the game is in young hands. I don't think much of a rivalry. I've said that from the beginning. I don't think much of a rivalry. Rory has four majors and dozens of wins and I'm just starting out. Again, I'm certainly quite a bit younger than he is. I'm just happy to have this and to be chasing that No. 1 spot which he holds. So I'm certainly focused on that."
