Masters champion Jordan Spieth back to work at RBC Heritage

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Masters champion Jordan Spieth is back to work this week at the RBC Heritage Classic after two days celebrating his victory at Augusta National and being showered with attention.

Spieth arrived at Sea Pines Resort late Tuesday night after a media whirlwind in New York since tying Tiger Woods’ Masters record of 18-under 270 to capture the green jacket.

The 21-year-old said it was a dizzying stretch with 26 appearances and interviews in 25 hours. Paparazzi was on scene and snapping pictures during dinner, though Spieth said no one told anyone where they were going.

Spieth doesn’t believe his success or the hoopla will change him. In fact, he maintained his commitment to the RBC Heritage in part because he wants to chase down Rory McIlroy for world No. 1.
