MASTERS champion Jordan Spieth says he is relishing a future rivalry with Rory McIlroy after winning his first major.

Spieth, 21, broke several scoring records in his four-stroke victory over Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson to claim the only major McIlroy is yet to win.

“He’s got four majors, something I can only dream about,” said Spieth, who finished six shots clear of McIlroy.

“I look forward to getting in the heat of the moment with him a few more times in the near future.”

Texan Spieth, who entered the tournament with a win and two second-place finishes from his last three PGA Tour starts, became the first man to reach 19 under at the Augusta National with a birdie on the 15th in Sunday’s final round.

However, a bogey at the last meant he had to settle for equalling the record 18-under total set by Tiger Woods when he won his first Green Jacket in 1997.

Spieth, now world number two, also ended the week with a record number of birdies at the event – 28 – and set new low scores at the end of rounds two and three.

“To shoot some low rounds, make some putts, and hear those roars, it was remarkable,” added Spieth, only the fifth man to lead a Masters from the end of round one to its conclusion.

“I know being the reigning Masters champion is going to carry a weight with it. I’m sure I’ll figure it out in the next year.”
