Reaction from Jordan Spieth, who set a Masters record on Friday (April 8) by leading the tournament for the sixth consecutive round.
Spieth holed a 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 2-over 74 that gave him a one-shot lead over Rory McIlroy at Augusta.

SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth

"I was just thinking about that as we were kind of in scoring. I was sitting down thinking, you know, this is nowhere near kind of the feeling of last year. Last year was a four shot lead, but there were a lot of birdies to be had. I kind of like this better, I do. I like this better. I don't like the fact that if I were to go out and play a decent round but shoot even par, because stuff doesn't go in, guys could take the lead. Now if I strike the ball the way I want to strike it and I kind of map my way around the course the way that we do so well here, you don't need to force anything. Like I felt like you still needed to make birdies on the weekend, and ultimately, I only needed to shoot 1 under. But at the time I thought with a guy at 10 and a couple guys at 9, 8, whatever, that it was going to be further under par and I needed to shoot a better score on the weekend. Now, I don't know how the course is going to play come Sunday, given it looks like it's going to be really nice out. But something like a couple under over the weekend may be good enough, and that I feel like I can handle even better."

SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth(On his relationship with Rory McIlroy)

"I think, I'm not very close with Rory. Yeah, we're very friendly. He's a colleague. Yeah, he's a friend, but it's not like we've gone on trips together or anything like that. You know, he's in, I would say, a bit of a different position in life. He's, what, four or five years older than me. I didn't grow up playing against or with him to where I would have a lot of those experiences.
I certainly have idolized his game coming up, and have really enjoyed battling out different tournaments. Not necessarily with him; we haven't really been towards the lead in any events yet until this one. Just playing together in kind of different, you know, switching No. 1s last year, that kind of stuff. So yeah, I have the utmost respect for his game. I think he's a great guy, too."

"No, I don't think it's a comfort level. I'd rather be playing with someone less threatening to be honest (laughter). He's certainly proven himself in majors. But I think it's going to be fun, a really fun challenge."
