Sports Briefing | Golf: Spieth Leads by Five Strokes
Jordan Spieth capped another strong performance with a 10-foot eagle for an eight-under-par 65, giving him a five-stroke lead over Brooks Koepka going into the final round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, Hawaii.
Spieth was at 24-under 195, one shot shy of the 54-hole record at Kapalua, which Ernie Els set in 2003 on his way to an eight-shot victory. Els is the only player in PGA Tour history to finish a 72-hole event at 30 under or better (he was 31 under).
Koepka had a 63, his best score on the PGA Tour, and Patrick Reed, the defending champion, shot a 67 and was in third, six shots behind Spieth.
Brandt Snedeker (65) and Fabian Gomez (70) were nine shots back.
