I am going with Spieth ... I like his attitude and focus ... plus he is from Texas!

Which one of these young superstars impresses you most and why?

Rory won his first major at what, 23?  Has 4 at 25.  Spieth has 2, and just turned, 22 a couple days ago?  Very difficult, but at the same time, Spieth has had one of the most incredible years the game has ever seen.  If just one more putt drops for him the entire week of The Open he very well could have been headed into this week with a chance at the Grand Slam.  Hasn't he finished like Top 10 in every event practically?  lol.

Do you have to choose? For me it is a draw at the moment. Really like to see them battle on sunday in the same flight.

They're equally impressive players, but for me Rory comes out on top.

Jordan has course management down to perfection, but Rory goes at every course equally aggressive. Doesn't work all the time, but when it does, it makes for some fantastic golf to watch.

I hear all the 'experts' say Rory at his best is better than Jordan. I don't get that, it is an impossible argument to say for sure. Rory tweeted last November, after Jordan won that Australian with a last round 63, something to the affect he could never shoot a 63 on that course in those conditions. I watched that round live in the middle of the night, and I agree. And he's even better now.

I don't have confidence Rory can salvage rounds, and his putting is streaky and not on par with Jordan's. Jordan get's to the green just fine, and his resolve can't be denied. I vote Jordan.

Rory for physical ability. Spieth for consistency. They both are very impressive.

Rory for me. I think we're in a 'what have you done for me lately' sort of mood, considering that Rory won 2 majors back to back last year and has won a WGC event and one other tourney this year.
