  • SuggestedLeadIn: Reaction from Jordan Spieth after he came in second behind Jason Day at the 97th PGA Championship on Sunday (16 August).

    Script: SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth, shot a four-Under-Par 68 (-17 Overall):

    "Yeah, yeah, it's by far the best consolation, by far the best loss I think I've ever had. I played solid golf. I played 11-under on the weekend off of the tough draw the first two days and still had a chance to really win. Although the key holes were eight through 12 for me today where I really needed to make a statement and couldn't get it to go, I still provided some opportunities to maybe put pressure on at the end and he just shut the door. He was sitting there swinging as hard as he could off the tee, and every single drive was right down the middle of the fairway. I think he missed two shots today and he made two bogeys off of that. But the ones he capitalised on were good enough. The fact that I would have had to shoot seven or eight-under to win, if you told me that at the beginning of the week, I'd have told you I missed the cut. A lot of positives come out of today. To be number one in the world as a team is fantastic. Certainly it was a lifelong goal of mine, and that was accomplished today."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth, shot a four-Under-Par 68 (-17 Overall):

    "It's not easy to sleep on a lead in a Major. It's not easy to start around when you're sleeping on the lead. Each putt that you hit to start - on a practice green, each putt that you hit to start the round, feels like a putt to win the biggest tournament of your life. And you've just got to get through it. You got to find a way to have it be positive and he did that. That's where I was looking to maybe capitalise, was to get in early, maybe get that thing tied up in the first six, seven holes, and instead I was left at four behind."
