I\u2019m very happy with where I am, but at the same time I\u2019m aware that Tiger could go on and on and on and keep winning majors at an incredible percentage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Spieth, 21, led from start to finish in his first major Masters victory, matching Woods\u2019 72-hole stroke record. He won the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay without his best repertoire, and in his next tournament, last Sunday at the John Deere Classic, he birdied four of the five holes to go to a playoff in which he eventually prevailed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Texan was asked if his teammates might be intimidated by seeing his name on the scoreboard. \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he said, smiling. \u201cI don\u2019t think they see me as an intimidating person. I don\u2019t hit the ball farther, which I think is one of the reasons Tiger was so intimidating, because he hit it farther and straighter.\u201d   <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI can\u2019t imagine it because I\u2019m not intimidated by anyone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The moment of truth has arrived: the 144th British Open begins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite being the youngest player to have won the Masters and U.S. Open and the fact that he can tie Tiger Woods\u2019 record for most Grand Slam victories before the age of 22 this Sunday, Jordan Spieth doesn\u2019t like the comparisons being made between him and the Californian former world number one. \u201cI think the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[125],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/andaluciagolf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
