SILVIS, Ill. — Jordan Spieth's tee shot on the par-5 17th hole landed in the trees.
Spieth's second shot landed in the fairway.
His third one landed in the hole.
Spieth's decision to spurn Scotland for the John Deere Classic looks more prescient with each passing round.
Spieth, bolstered by a 106-yard eagle on No. 17, shot a career-best 10-under 61 in the third round Saturday to grab a two-shot lead.
"With some good breaks and really good putting, a round like (Saturday) comes together," said Spieth, who will go for his third straight major title next week at the British Open.
