Spieth with another big finish leads by 5 at Kapalua (The Associated Press)

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) -- Sharp as ever to start the new year, Jordan Spieth capped off another strong performance with a 10-foot eagle on Saturday for an 8-under 65, giving him a five-shot lead over Brooks Koepka going into the final round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

Only one other player, defending champion Patrick Reed, was within eight shots of Spieth.

A hardy Kona wind didn't slow anyone down who was playing well. Spieth started the day with a four-shot lead and ran off four straight birdies.

Koepka, in only his second tournament in nearly three months and his first since switching to Nike, had six straight birdies on the front nine.
