New Masters champion Jordan Spieth has been making the rounds in New York since becoming the second-youngest green jacket winner. He got on a private jet and made his way to the Big Apple for a whirlwind tour of media appearances, including a stop at CBS's "Late Show" with David Letterman.
Spieth spoke with the outgoing late-night host about the motivation he had to win the Masters a year after watching Bubba Watson earn a second green jacket in three years.
"Last year, I watched Bubba Watson, a deserving champion, walk up that 18th green with the win, watching him walk up to the patrons giving him a standing ovation, and that was tough," Spieth said. "I definitely had a chip on my shoulder and wanted to experience that myself."
Letterman expounded on Spieth's point, asking if Spieth couldn't wait until the next year -- this year -- to try again.
"I wanted to come back the next day (and try again), but I had to wait a year," Spieth said to laughter.
Letterman imagined what that might be like before Spieth joked, "Wouldn't be as special."
Spieth warmed up for the appearance with a Ron Burgundy-inspired voice exercise.
