Spieth, who played for the sixth time in seven weeks at the Travelers Championship, said he would now have at least a week off but could play either of the two weeks leading up to the July 19-22 Open at Carnoustie.

Spieth said the extended break before last year’s win at Royal Birkdale had not left him under-prepared.

“So I believe I can get the work in whether I’m playing or not to get the repetitions … I don’t feel like I have to (add another tournament), but it certainly could help. There is certainly potential for that,” said the Texan, who finished tied for 42nd on Sunday.

The three-time major winner said his putting had come good after some recent struggles though his swing alignment needed some work.

“I’ve got a pretty good gauge on where my own game’s at,” Spieth told reporters.

“I’ve just got to be a little more patient and smarter, which is what I’ve been working on anyway.”

“My putting’s right on point where it needs to be. It’s the best it’s been in a couple of years.”

“I just need to get my alignment back on the full swing … but I’ve got a few weeks off to get back in order.”
