Except, apparently, to the guy who’s in line to do it.
During his Wednesday press conference on the eve of the PGA Championship, Jordan Spieth insisted that winning at Quail Hollow Club would be special and meaningful, given that it would allow him to become only the sixth golfer to win all four major titles. But the 24-year-old doesn’t feel any extra urgency to get it done this week and break Tiger Woods’ mark as the youngest to achieve the feat.
“It’s not a burning desire to have to be the youngest to do something,” Spieth said. “Do I have to be the youngest? No, I don’t feel that kind of pressure. Would it be really cool? Absolutely.”
Spieth’s logic is clear: He should have numerous chances to win the PGA title over..
