Jordan Spieth has described the Masters as the ‘easiest’ golf major to win.
The American says he feels most comfortable at Augusta and at the Masters.
“Augusta is just blown up more than it probably should be,” Spieth told the Guardian. “In that sense it gets blown up towards Rory [McIlroy]. Augusta is, if you look at the field, technically, the ‘easiest’ to win. The more someone focuses on that, the better. Rory could have three or four majors that are harder ones to win, too.
“It’s hard for me to speak on his behalf, Augusta gets blown up more than it should relative to the others. If you can shun that off, it is the biggest tournament in the world, it has the most eyeballs for golf. So, no matter the story, I think everything gets a little blown out of proportion.
“I would have thought the US Open would be the hardest for me to win, then the PGA. I always just feel more comfortable at the Open and the Masters. I have contended at Augusta when I have had next to nothing. Your driving accuracy there is less of a problem than it is at the other majors. Other than that, it is because the field wasn’t the same as some of the other harder events.”
