World number one golfer Jordan Spieth gives his thoughts on golf being played at the Olympic Games in Rio next year.
SOUNDBITE (English) Jordan Spieth, USA (on playing in Olympics in 2016)
"Just competing in the Olympics, just walking in the opening ceremonies and staying in the village, meeting this incredible athletes from around the world, hopefully we..i think we are pretty locked up, but you still never know, so hopefully that is something that i'm able to experience next August and winning a gold medal is got to be up there now in my mind up with winning a major championship. I've been asked that question, green jacket or gold medal...want to make a gold medal or open championship, that's not fair. I think this year we are going to approach this as the fifth major...and we are going to prepare like it is, am going to go down there and try and take care of the business, though it's going to be very difficult. You've got some great Aussies (Australians) that will be down there, Englishmen and you've got your own countrymen that you are trying to beat. It's not a team event in golf, i think, unfortunately...but we go down there and approach it like a major".
