There will be no defending champion at the Open this year at St Andrews, as world No. 1 Rory McIlroy will be absent through injury.

He drew criticism from some quarters for eschewing the possibility to prepare on a links course, but his Illinois victory will give him even more confidence heading to the Old Course.

As noted by SportsCenter, Spieth joined elite company when he triumphed on Sunday:

Tiger Woods won three majors in 2000, a feat Spieth is trying to replicate—and perhaps better—in 2015.



There is no doubt that the world No. 2 will be in the mix come Sunday in Fife, Scotland, but his decision to not take part in the Scottish Open at Gullane could count against him considering the other in-form players in the field.

Furthermore, the pressure and attention on the 21-year-old is now huge, and although he will compete at the top once more, a third consecutive major victory...
