Pragmatist Spieth backtracks on Olympic golf

``When we're there, we'll really realize how much that means to be, what it means to be an Olympian ... It's just going to be really enjoying the experience and obviously we want to play well, but we're going to be down there for a while.''

And Jordan Spieth now ...
