Northern Trust 2017: Jordan Spieth Takes 3-Stroke Lead After Strong Performance

Jordan Spieth found himself alone at the top of the Northern Trust Open leaderboard on Saturday at theGlen Oaks Club in Old Westbury, New York, shooting a six-under 64.

That left him at 12-under for the tournament and three strokes ahead of Dustin Johnson, while Paul Casey, Patrick Reed, Jon Rahm and Matt Kuchar each found themselves five strokes back. Keegan Bradley (-6), Kevin Chappell (-5) and Justin Rose (-5) rounded out the top of the leaderboard.

Things didn't start well for Spieth, as he bogeyed No. 1. He responded with birdies on Nos. 3, 5, 7 and 8, however, before closing his back nine with another bogey on No.
