The Latest: Spieth stabilizes in final round at US Open

ERIN, Wis. (AP) The Latest on the U.S. Open (all times local):

12:35 p.m.

Jordan Spieth hit probably one of the best tee shots he has made all weekend at the U.S. Open.

With a gusty wind blowing across Erin Hills, Spieth’s first shot at the par-3 13th hole landed about 5 feet from the flag. He putted for birdie to move to 2 under for the day and 2 over for the tournament.

The world’s fifth-ranked player is well off the lead. Spieth has said that he feels that he is striking the ball well, but that he is trying to get more consistent on and around the greens.
