EDISON, New Jersey — By the tender age of 22, Jordan Spieth has already accomplished some lifelong goals -- namely winning the Masters and achieving the world number one ranking in golf.
The next challenge facing the precocious American is parlaying his top position in the FedExCup standings into victory in the four-event playoff series that culminates with the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
Spieth said that goal ranks lower than accumulating golf's major titles, such as the Masters and U.S. Open he won this year, but the Texan does not undervalue the season-ending playoffs and the $10 million bonus that goes to the champion.
