Spieth looking forward to battle with

  • Intro:

    Jordan Spieth met with the media on Tuesday in Texas after winning the U.S. Open on Sunday to become the sixth man to win the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth (On rivalry with Rory McIlroy)

    "That's tough. I'm not sure. I think that it's being established, but I think that there's a lot of young players that can still step up. Rory (McIlroy) has four majors, dozens of wins. He's a guy I look up to. He's a friend of mine. I don't believe that I'm there yet on his level. I believe that I'm starting to get there. But I think that rivalries are more recognise looking back. And so in the present it's hard to realize it. But if I can continue to do what we've been doing, then as we look back years from now, we may have said that it was a good battle. But we still haven't battled it out together in a tournament yet. So I think it's hard to say it's a rivalry until we can get into contention and see if we can kind of feed off each other and make it fun to watch."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth (On hype going forward)

    "Yeah, that's the tough part. It'll be interesting. There will be some hype when we arrive at St. Andrews and the hardest part is going to be just managing that and sticking to our game plan and getting the right preparation work in. And, you know, the same, similar hype happened around Chambers Bay and we were able to calm it down and get to work. So I don't imagine that by the time I tee off, that'll be a struggle. I think that we will have settled it down and got to work. So as long as I don't let my mind wonder and I stay focused, I just want to put myself into contention and get myself another chance."
