Jordan Spieth has not slept for nearly 30 hours because he is too excited about playing at The Open. His Dallas drawl can’t contain the buzz at being in Hoylake and even after a long flight from the United States his face is fresh and lights up every time he mentions this major championship - especially when he talks about winning it. Spieth doesn’t turn 21 until the end of the month but there is a real chance he could lift the Claret Jug this week. He nearly pulled off one of the greatest wins in history at the Masters, leading by two strokes in the final round before a Bubba Watson masterclass prevented Spieth from breaking Tiger Woods’s record as the youngest ever Augusta champion.
