Fresh from Sunday's victory on the European Tour, Rickie Fowler has his sights set on disrupting Jordan Spieth's plans for a Grand Slam at this week's British Open.
Fowler prevailed at the Scottish Open by one shot over the weekend, setting him up perfectly for a tilt at a first major title at St. Andrews.

His American compatriot Spieth has set the standard so far in 2015, winning both the Masters and the U.S. Open.
With world No. 1 Rory McIlroy absent thanks to an ankle injury, Fowler's hopes of victory have received a boost but he concedes he still has plenty of work to do to pose a threat to Spieth.
"A good start would be to become a major champion, and that's something that I've always dreamed of and have wanted to accomplish," he said. "The way Jordan has been playing, amazing golf, and Rory has been doing that for quite some time. I do have some work to do.
"I need to continue winning. I think that's the biggest thing, and putting myself in positions to win. I can't worry about them or other players, just got to keep working hard and focus on what I need to do and take care of my business."
Bubba Watson, meanwhile, says the likes of Spieth and McIlroy only spur the rest of the field on to achieve greater things.
"When you watch some of your buddies like that winning, you want to compete with them," he said. "You want to not get too far behind them. It's fun. You get excited. You watch your buddies play and perform at a high level, so it makes you want to go out there and grind and get better at the game, same as Tiger did. Tiger pushed us to a whole new level and now you've got these young guns coming out.
"Rory is getting so much older now compared to Spieth, but you've got these young guns coming out and performing at a high level. It's going to make us work harder and train harder and try to get better for our own careers."
