Jordan Spieth believes he will win the career grand slam at some point but does not feel any extra pressure to do it this week at Quail Hollow Club.
Spieth's victory at the Open Championship two weeks ago means he has now won three of the Majors and he arrives at the US PGA Championship with the chance to become the youngest player to win all four.
Tiger Woods was 24 years, seven months and 25 days old when he won the 2000 Open at St Andrews by eight shots, while Spieth celebrated his 24th birthday just four days after the Open at Royal Birkdale.
You could therefore be forgiven for expecting history to be weighing heavy on the shoulders of the World Number Two, but he was calm and relaxed about the prospect of joining the elite club of Woods, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus when he faced the media in Charlotte on Wednesday.
"Expectations, I really don't feel any," he said. "This is a chance to complete the career grand slam. I'm here, so I'm going to go ahead and try but I believe I'm going to have plenty of chances and I'm young enough to believe in my abilities that it will happen at some point.
"Do I have to be the youngest? No, I don't feel that kind of pressure. Would it be really cool? Absolutely, and I don't come to a tournament unless I plan on giving it my all in preparation to have a chance and to ultimately close a tournament out.
"There will be pressure. This is a Major Championship. This is one of the four pivotal weeks of the year that we focus on so there will certainly be pressure. I'm simply stating there won't be added expectations or pressure.
"How? I don't know. I just don't feel it. It's not a burning desire to have to be the youngest to do something and that would be the only reason there would be added expectations.
"If I don't win one in the next ten years then maybe there's added pressure then and hopefully we don't have to have this conversation in ten years. But if we do, then it might be different.
"But it was only two weeks ago that I was able to get the third leg and that's so fresh in my mind, I'm so happy about that that I can't add pressure to this week. I'm free-rolling and it feels good. I'm about as free and relaxed at a Major as I think I've ever felt."
Brooks Koepka also has a Major to his name having won the US Open Championship in June and the American often saves his best performances for golf's four biggest events.
He has missed just two cuts in 16 Majors with ten top-25s and is now looking to win his first two in the same season, just as Spieth did in 2015.
"I feel like the Majors really get my attention," he said. "I don't know what it is: just the fact that every shot counts so much or you want to win Majors more than you want to win anything else.
"I feel like I've had a few chances coming down the stretch to win a couple more. I don't know what it is but the Majors, I get going for it. I'm excited for this week."
