Jordan Spieth Stumbles, Shoots 2 Over in Round 3 After Entering Day in 2nd Place

Jordan Spieth fell further behind leader Brooks Koepka at Bethpage Black on Saturday, but even with a two-over 72, he remains near the top of the leaderboard.

As he looks for his first career PGA Championship victory, Spieth entered Day 3 seven strokes back of Koepka, tied with Adam Scott for second place. According to PGATour.com's Cameron Morfit, Koepka's record-breaking start helped him grab the largest 36-hole lead in PGA Championship history.

While Koepka continued to ride the momentum he built during the first two rounds, Spieth treaded water early Saturday. He came out of the gates by recording par on seven of the first eight holes, including each of the first four.
