Spieth Ready To Get Back To Winning at PGA Championship

Jordan Spieth drank from the Claret Jug on the way home from The Open with winner Zach Johnson, got back to practicing a few days later, visited Whistling Straits -- site of next week's PGA Championship -- over the weekend and is seemingly past any disappointment associated with not winning the third leg of the Grand Slam.

Then again.

"I'm hoping to kind of prove, coming off of this last major, that I've kind of got a little bit of revenge that I need to get out from having control of the Open Championship with two holes to go and not closing it out,'' Spieth said Wednesday at Firestone Country Club. "That leaves kind of a bad taste in my mouth, not because of the third in a row, but strictly because you don't get many opportunities to contend in a major, in an Open at St. Andrews, in your life.

"So to have that chance and to feel like I was the one in control and to not finish it is a tough feeling, and it was a tough feeling on that flight home, especially with Zach and the Jug there. I wish that it was in my possession there and not his."

Spieth, 22, is playing his first event since The Open and will be alongside Johnson for the first two rounds of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, where 48 of the top 50 in the world are entered.
