J.J. Spaun found himself in a specific situation a few days ago. Although this experienced golfer never belonged to the very top of the golf scene, we cannot say that he does not possess quality. The last tournament, the Players Championship, speaks best of this.

The American golfer played in a playoff with Rory McIlroy, having the chance to win his second PGA Tour title.
However, J.J. Spaun failed in his plan, still proud of himself.
In an interview with the media, the experienced golfer shared his opinion about McIlroy, saying that Rory is a cool person.
Spaun also revealed the details of their conversation
He is super cool, Spaun said on Fore Play Podcast Plus, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
We were talking about the UK, I know he is from Northern Ireland, so I asked him if he ever hangs out in London because my wife has a really good friend who lives out there and loves going there."
Cotswolds
Spaun points out that he and his wife often visit the Cotswolds, which evokes only positive emotions in him.

So over the last couple of years in December we go to a little vacation to the Cotswolds, which is like the countryside, with all these quaint villages which are really old and have pubs from the 1700s."- he continued.
Speaking to Rory about it, the Northern Irish golfer told him that he is building a house there. Spaun continued, saying that Rory was friendly, and that they talked a lot until the back nine.
Such an experience is hard to forget, and Spaun wants to continue his great form, and find himself in the spotlight again just like a few days ago.
Ahead of McIlory, however, is a different challenge, with the Masters as a priority for him. Rory wants to win this Major, because of which they have been putting a lot of pressure on him for years.
