Seeking answers, Spieth struggles in 3rd round at US Open

ERIN, Wis. (AP) Jordan Spieth’s first attempt to get out of the bunker on the 18th hole Saturday ended badly. The ball slid back down the sandy slope until it came to a rest near his footprints.

It was a fitting end to a frustrating day for Spieth at the U.S. Open.

”It’s been an off-putting week for me,” Spieth said. ”Searching for it, but just haven’t quite finished out a major with the speed.”

Spieth shot a 4-under 76 in a third round that ended with a double bogey on the par-5 18th . Spieth was at 4 over for the tournament – 16 shots behind leader Brian Harman.
