The 24-year-old American, who won the 2015 Masters and US Open titles, captured his third major crown last year at Royal Birkdale just a month after a spectacular chip-in from a bunker to defeat Daniel Berger in a playoff for the Travelers title.
Despite missing the cut in last week’s US Open at Shinnecock, Spieth remains confident after making the short trip to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, for Thursday’s opening round.
“I feel like there are good scores coming,” Spieth said. “In order for (my game) to be major championship ready for the Open Championship, I think being in contention this week would be a big key.
