After his 2016 Open Championship concluded on Sunday (17th July), Jordan Spieth said he thinks he's close to being in a position to contend for a Major again - as his focus now switches to the PGA Championship

SOUNDBITE (English) Jordan Spieth, two-over: (On where his game is at)

"I don't think we're far off from being able to tee off on Sunday afternoon at a major. All the parts seem to be coming together, whether it shows off after a 30th place finish or not. Although the PGA Championship is quickly approaching, I think that's good for us. I think that we feel that we're ready for it to start next week, if need be. Just got to fine tune a couple things when we get back home, that's it."

SOUNDBITE (English) Jordan Spieth, two-over: (On playing the next major in just over a week)

"It will be odd when we're there to have played now two majors in three weeks. I'm sure that will be a different feeling. But, again, I think it's a good feeling if you can ride any kind of momentum from this week, and I think that we can, off of the way that we played the last two days, minus one or two swings yesterday. We were probably 6-under on the weekend. I'm going to spin it however I can to be in my favour and we'll take some confidence."

SOUNDBITE (English) Jordan Spieth, two-over: (On if he had to block out events in his home of Dallas to try sand play this week)

"I wouldn't say I was purposely putting blinders on. I think it just kind of comes with being over here. I'm sure when I get back home -- I'm interested, like we had talked about prior, to finding out any way that I can possibly help when I get home, whether it's financially or whatever it may be. Because, yeah, it was tough leaving the day after that. A really sad day for our city and one that we wouldn't expect in the city of Dallas. It's a pretty likable city with people who seem to get along, and it was just a tough night."
