Jordan Spieth leaps above Henrik Stenson and into lead at 小旅行する 選手権

Jordan Spieth jumped to the 前線 of the 列 for 小旅行する 選手権 glory and FedEx Cup big money after a 劇の turnaround on day three at East Lake.

The Masters and US Open 支持する/優勝者 has the chance to cap his unforgettable year on Sunday with another prized トロフィー, which with it would bring a 特別手当 of 10 million US dollars.

And he put himself in the 主要な position by (手先の)技術ing and 汚職,収賄ing his way to a two-under 68, his putter becoming hot at the end of the 一連の会議、交渉/完成する, helping Spieth out of trouble and ahead of long-time leader Henrik Stenson.

Jordan Spieth leads the 小旅行する 選手権

The pair will duel for glory over the の近くにing 18 穴を開けるs, with Spieth beginning the final 一連の会議、交渉/完成する on eight under par and Stenson one 支援する.

Stenson began the day nine under, and at the turn he was on the same 示す, but a 不安定な second nine 穴を開けるs played in two over par saw the 39-year-old Swede open the door for Spieth.

A terrific escape from trouble at the 16th 穴を開ける, after a birdie at the previous 穴を開ける, was the 誘発する/引き起こす moment for Spieth's 殺到する from second place, two 発射s 支援する, to his one-発射 夜通し lead.

The 22-year-old American went horribly 権利 off the tee at 16 and knew he was in trouble. He punched the ball out of 即座の trouble to 伸び(る) a sight of the 旗, then with a pitch that was no more than 適する gave himself a 22-foot chance of par.

Spieth drained the putt into the heart of the 穴を開ける, and an impressive two-putt for par from long 範囲 at 17, bogeyed by Stenson who 設立する sand, 始める,決める him up for a 割れ目 at the lead at the short last.

From 20 feet, Spieth nailed another 圧力 putt for birdie, with Stenson only able to make par.

What Rory McIlroy would have given for birdie, or even par, at the last.

Having played 井戸/弁護士席 to reach two under through 17 穴を開けるs, and five under for the tournament, McIlroy butchered the par-three 18th, taking three 発射s to find the putting surface and then 行方不明の from の近くに 範囲 for bogey.

A par 一連の会議、交渉/完成する of 70 left the Northern Irishman three under, n eeding something みごたえのある over the の近くにing 18 穴を開けるs.

Rickie Fowler's three-under 67, that 解除するd him to a tie for third with Paul Casey on four under, was the lowest anyone managed on Saturday.

A rain 警告 誘発するd tournament organisers to bring 今後 tee times by over two hours. The wet weath er materialised and made 条件s difficult, 特に around the rough, with Englishman Casey 説 the course had become "monstrously long".

Stenson's two-over 72 was unlike him on a course he loves. Two years ago the 39-year-old Swede led from start to finish to 勝利,勝つ the tournament and FedEx Cup 肩書を与える, with its 10million US dollars 特別手当, and there could still be a repeat on Sunday.

The same money is on 申し込む/申し出 to the player who 最高の,を越すs this year's FedEx Cup standings, with 現在の race leader Jason Day only even par for this week's tournament and seemingly out of 論争 for either prize on 申し込む/申し出.

Spieth or Stenson would take the bumper reward should they 勝利,勝つ, with Fowler and McIlroy just about still in 論争.

Barring an astounding turn of events, Casey cannot get into the でっちあげる,人を罪に陥れる for the eight-人物/姿/数字 支払う/賃金-out.

Casey said of the course after his one-over 71: " It was very, very difficult and it shows how good guys are playing this year that people are still 狙撃 under par."

Speaking on Sky Sports, Casey 追加するd: "I'm playing for a 小旅行する 選手権 and a five-year 控除, and a lot of money, 反して they're playing for an awful lot of money.

"I don't see any way I can 勝利,勝つ a FedEx Cup tomorrow. It's not going to happen. But I've got my own 競争 I'm playing and I'd love to 動かす the マリファナ by getting up there and winning it."
