May 4 (Reuters) - Jordan Spieth says he has come to terms with his shocking Masters meltdown with the help of family and close friends, and is ready to challenge for the year's second major, next month's U.S. Open at Oakmont in Pennsylvania.
The American world number two was five strokes ahead with nine holes to play in his title defence at last month's Masters but astonishingly ran up a quadruple-bogey at the par-three 12th as he threw away the coveted Green Jacket.
"It was 75 percent you have to do it yourself; and then 25 percent relying on my team, family, friends," Spieth told a news conference at Oakmont on Wednesday when asked how he had recovered from his Masters experience.
