Spieth re-sets goals for year, eyes top spot in rankings

By Mark Lamport-Stokes

AKRON, Ohio (Reuters) - Stung by his inability to close out victory with two holes left at last month's British Open, Masters and U.S. Open champion Jordan Spieth has re-set his goals for the big events that conclude the PGA Tour season.

Though Spieth's bid for a calendar grand slam of the majors ended at St. Andrews, he can still add a third leg at next week's PGA Championship while he would become world number one with victory this Sunday at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

The 22-year-old American also has in his sights the four lucrative FedExCup playoff events that wrap up the PGA Tour, more than enough for him to focus on before he finishes what has been an extraordinary 2014-15 campaign of masterful golf.
