Jordan Spieth ended his third round of The Open where he began – three shots behind – but as always there was nothing stagnant about his play.
Surging into a share of the lead, then retreating after a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes, Spieth literally ran off the 18th green, signed his scorecard and headed to the putting green for a little practice.
In the fading daylight, there was much work to be done.
Spieth carded a 1-under 69 Saturday at Royal St. George’s but gave away precious opportunities that could have better positioned him to capture a fourth major.
