JORDAN SPIETH PLAYED down talks of a rivalry with Rory McIlroy after winning the Masters by four shots on Sunday.
The 21-year-old American clinched his maiden major in style, claiming a wire-to-wire win at Augusta.
Spieth’s win has led to suggestions he may develop a famous rivalry with McIlroy, the 25-year-old Northern Irish world number one with four majors to his name. But Spieth, who spoke about the respect the tour’s younger players have for one another, played that down.
“He’s got four majors. That’s something I can still only dream about and just numerous wins,” he said. ”I’ll never hit it as far as he does and I’ll have to make up for that somewhere else.
“He’s an unbelievably nice guy, carries the world number one with class and I don’t know as far as a rivalry right now.
“I look forward to get into the heat of the moment with him a few times in the near future and see if we can battle it out and test our games.”
Spieth said he was excited by the young talent coming through, insisting the players all wished each other well.
“I think it’s great. There’s an incredible amount of young talent, guys are coming out and winning quickly and a lot,” he said.
“We’re all very respectful of each other, we all root for each other. It’s not like I’m out there with Patrick Reed saying ‘I hope he misses this putt’. I hope he makes this and I hope I make two in a row on top.”
A Dublin team with everyone making themselves available to the team,will be a very dangerous team. And only a good thing for hurling. Next year you could have 4 teams in Leinster and be 5 teams in Munster that on anyones day could beat eachother.
@Jack Fogarty: you could possibly have 6 teams in Munster if it wasn’t for jackasses like yer man above.
Sorry Ger, but you’re just embarrassing yourself. And I don’t even like Dublin.
@Eoin Nolan: fu€k you
@Ger Martin: The truth hurts doesn’t it sweetheart?
@Ciara Baines: nope
I actually don’t give a fu€k what you think
I told the truth there and that’s why you are responding through bitterness
All you Dublin ponses are all the same
Take you out of the city in any direction and there will be traffic chaos as it’s like rabbits caught in headlights
Ha ha €unts all of ye
@Ger Martin: hahahahahahahahahahahahaha thanks for not disappointing Geraldine.
@Ger Martin: hahaha, no arguing with that!!!! Good man.
They will win fu€k all
The gaa will pump a load of money in as usual to have a manufactured team trying to play a traditional game against the lads that uts bred into since they came out of the cradle
And also with a fella that knows no more about hurling than a pig knows about having a holiday
You will see a glass eye growing out if a tom cats arse before you will see that crowd winning a championship
@Ger Martin: I take it you dont like the Dubs Ger
@Ger Martin: what about the nucleus
@Ger Lyons: the nucleus could do it
@Mervyn Queally: fu€k them
The dubs think the whole world revolves around them and everyone should bow down to them
I hope the piss is hammered out of them in every game they play
@Ger Martin: gilroy played both hurling and football with vinnys ya fool. All the lads who dropped off the panal will come back in. He led the footballers to the 1st sam maguire in 16 yrs im sure hes gonna have a huge impact on the hurlers.
To be fair, it’s comments like this that convince us how bloody thick the rest of the country is.
@ryan o sullivan: he led them
It’s you that’s the fool you fu€kin pri€k
Kerry fu€kin handed it to them
So what if he played club hurling with the vinnies you Dublin fu€kin ponse
That doesn’t make him an inter county manager
And as for being a player he wasn’t worth one bucket of goats shit you €unt
@BlueMagic: it’s a gas rant to read all the same, amazed he could post the comments before his exploded from all that Dublin hatred
@Ger Martin: Someone has serious anger issues. Get a great laugh out of your posts though so thanks for the giggles!
@Ger Martin: your comments are mighty, best laugh ive had on here in ages. We will beat the dubs for ya in SHC first round next year.
@Ciara Baines: fu€k you toots
Suck my dick
@Ger Martin: Doubt you even have one pet! At least not till you pass puberty.
