After hanging on by a thread to make the cut at the 2018 Players Championship, Jordan Spieth had his best performance of the tournament with a 65 in the third round on Saturday.

The three-time major champion dropped his 54-hole score to eight under par. He's still far off the pace set by Webb Simpson, who began the third round at 15 under par, but the past two days have been a vast improvement since opening with a 75.

As was the case in the second round, Spieth began Saturday with a birdie on the first hole that was set up by a fantastic approach shot from 117 yards out:
