Leader Jordan Spieth took advantage of a favorable bounce at No. 4 to keep Rory McIlroy at bay and remain one of the few golfers in the third round at par or better.

Spieth saved par with an 8-footer at No. 4 after banging his tee shot off the grandstand to the left of the par-3 green. On the previous hole, the Texan made a 7-foot birdie putt to push his lead over McIlroy to three strokes.
