The world's best golfers will gather next week in Augusta, Georgia, for the Masters Tournament, arguably the crown jewel of golf's four majors. Among this year's field is defending champion Jordan Spieth, who tees off Thursday in the Shell Houston open - the final tournament before golf's majors season gets underway.
Spieth lost his number one ranking this week, but still hopes to keep the coveted green jacket, reports "CBS This Morning" co-host Charlie Rose.
Even with his eyes closed, his swing is spot on.
Last year at the age of 21, Spieth became the second youngest man to win the Masters, his favorite tournament in the world.
"You know, I came close in my first attempt in 2014. And then last year, got off to just a hot start. We were able to hold it together. It was really, really incredible," Spieth said. "There, you're playing the golf course. And this year's going to be tricky because last year, we were 18 under. And the hardest thing to do in repeating -- or trying to repeat -- a win is to not look at the year before and think that it's just going to be like that."
We have a unique family and a unique position. Having a special-needs sister kind of changes your life, every person in our family. It changes the sacrifices my parents have to make. And then for us, it's so special. It's so special to see her development. It's so special to see how she can continue to conquer struggles that we take for granted.
It's hard to believe he was nearly on a path to play baseball, like his father Shawn. Spieth said it was "100 percent" the right decision, but one of the hardest things he's had to do was to tell his father he was going to play golf.
"I remember exactly where I was when I told him. I mean, I must have been 12 or 13 years old and I said, 'Dad, I really just want to specialize in golf now and play a little bit of basketball."
