SOUTHPORT, England — Jordan Spieth is back at Royal Birkdale, the site of one of his greatest triumphs, and says there is no reason he can’t return to golf’s mountaintop.

It has been almost a decade since Spieth won golf’s oldest major championship and, since winning that Open Championship in 2017, the American has only notched two worldwide tournament wins. But the three-time major champ and former world No. 1 doesn’t believe his best golf is behind him.
“No, I’ll never believe that until I’m at a point in my career where my health or whatever would be that because, I mean, if you give up on reaching your ceiling, then I don’t see a point in playing anymore,” he said on Monday at Royal Birkdale.
His win in 2017 marked his third major championship in three years and 11th win for the then-23 year old Speith. Now 32 years old, he has added just two wins and zero majors to his total.
What Spieth say about his age?
“I’m 32, I’m not 42,” he said.
“How old was Phil (Mickelson) when he won his first major?” Spieth added, asking about scandal-plagued golf legend Phil Mickelson, who won the first of his six majors at 34.

“Go back in time, there’s plenty of examples where guys have played their best golf from there on,” Spieth said. “Now, I’m always comparing myself a bit to myself at my best, but not to try to be the exact player.
“Just more so that I know that I can do it. I know my ceiling is where that level was, and so I’m going to strive for it with the type of player that I am now.”
Spieth said he’s currently playing his best golf since his incredible early days and believes there has been some bad luck that’s been keeping out of the winner’s circle.

“I feel better than my results have shown,” he said. “Just a mix of reasons why, but a really good opportunity this week to believe that, trust that. The more difficult the venue, it requires me to really dial in mentally a little bit more, which I think is going to be a good thing.”
“I’m quite frustrated with the results considering I know where my game is at. It’s better than it was four or five years ago when I got back to top 10 in the world. It’s without a doubt better than it was then; it’s just not quite showing up in results.”
Golf loves its comeback stories and Spieth has long been a fan favourite, so a return to form for the Texan would be welcome.
“There are things I can do now that I can do significantly better than I could when I was No. 1 in the world,” he said. “Therefore, there should be nothing to stop me in my own head to be able to search and believe that I can reach that again.”
