Jordan Spieth matches career best with 10-under 61 for share of Phoenix Open lead

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- A day after saying he needed to be patient about results, Jordan Spieth matched his career best with a 10-under 61 on Saturday for a share of the third-round lead with Xander Schauffele in the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Winless since the 2017 British Open, Spieth is trying recapture the form that carried him to 11 PGA Tour victories - three of them majors - in his first five seasons on the tour.

The 27-year-old Texan raised the volume considerably at TPC Scottsdale, drawing the biggest roar of the week from the limited crowd on the par-3 16th when he curled in a 36-footer for birdie and the outright lead.
