Jordan Spieth admitted his memories of his Ryder Cup debut on Scottish soil are picture perfect despite a defeat but the American ace now wants a successful scene to hang alongside it.

The 23-year-old former Masters and US Open champ was so enraptured by the Ryder Cup fever at Gleneagles in 2014 he got a painting commissioned as a lasting momento.

In stark contrast, Team USA’s recent record in the biennial event doesn’t make for pleasant viewing and having lost seven of the last nine bouts, Spieth is determined the hosts make all the right strokes this time.

Spieth, who struck up a profitable partnership with fellow rookie Patrick Reed in the pairs at Gleneagles, said: “That painting is the main piece of artwork in my house. It’s right after I struck the first tee-shot and it’s beautiful.

“Along with the 18th green of the Masters in 2015, they are probably the two most special moments and the kind I prepared my whole life for.

“We didn’t win the Ryder Cup there, I didn’t make a putt to win there but it was just the feeling. You hear the echoes of the chants through the Scottish hills and you know you’re going to walk into an away game in front of just a ton of people."

With Europe aiming for an unprecedented four wins in a row, Spieth added: “I think we are just tired of being told that we haven’t won for a while. We want this one.”

Spieth’s debut was soured both by defeat and the unravelling of Tom Watson’s captaincy as Phil Mickelson delivered a withering assessment of the veteran’s autocratic regime in the aftermath of the Gleneagles collapse.

Spieth said: “I just feel a little more calmer. Our experience over there was pretty tense. This one feels different.”
