St Andrews (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Jordan Spieth staked his case for golfing glory at St Andrews on Wednesday, saying he was fully aware of what was within his grasp at this week's British Open.

The 21-year Texan has taken the golfing world by storm from the start of the year, winning the Masters and US Open, only the sixth man ever to do so,

Tiger Woods was the last to achieve that feat in 2002 and before him Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan (twice) and Craig Wood did likewise.
