After finishing the first 68 rounds at the Scottish Open, Spieth was asked about selecting the St. Andrew venue for hosting British Open.
The reporter asked him, “Do you look forward to St Andrew’s differently compare to other venues for The Open?”
In answer to that question, Spieth says, “I think the Open at St. Andrews is arguably the best golf tournament we play.”
Then Spieth explained why St. Andrews is considered the home golf and why it’s so special.
In Spieth’s words, “I just think the history of it, playing in the town, the idea that it could be the easiest or either the hardest venue that we play depending on the day.

Spieth last played British Open at St. Andrew in 2015. He thinks the tournament in St. Andrew will be too easy for competitors compare to its reputation. The course was created a long long time ago. The combination of the modern golf club and ball technology will be allying present days players.
