The Masters 2017: Jordan Spieth highlights from Round 3

Jordan Spieth had a great Round 3 at the 2017 Masters Tournament. He’s within striking distance of his second Green Jacket. Here are his Round 3 highlights.

After Round 1 on Thursday, it didn’t look promising for American golf phenom Jordan Spieth to win his second Green Jacket in three tries. He blew a massive lead on the back-nine last year and choked away an otherwise decent day on Thursday with an atrocious quadruple bogey on 15 Firethorn.

Yet here we are seeing Spieth within striking distance of earning his second Green Jacket. Spieth entered Round 3 at even par before going on a tear with a 68 (-4) on Saturday. He is in a three-way tie with Ryan Moore and Charley Hoffman for fourth place heading into the final day.

Spieth had five birdies (6, 8, 9, 13, 15) to only one bogey on the day at 16. Seriously, if he didn’t lose it for a brief moment on 15 on Thursday with a terrible quadruple bogey, Spieth might be the leader heading into the final pairing.

Spieth trails three golfers heading into the final 18: England’s Justin Rose (-6), Spain’s Sergio Garcia (-6) and the United States’ Rickie Fowler (-5). What Spieth has going for him that the others don’t is that he has won a Green Jacket before. He’s also had an epic collapse before. Basically, there is no emotion Spieth isn’t familiar with heading into Round 4 at Augusta National.

Here are his highlights from Round 4.

Fate would have it that Round 4 will have an awesome second pairing. We know that co-leaders Rose and Garcia will go last. Just ahead of them, you guessed it!: Fowler and Spieth. Tomorrow at Augusta is going to be so much fun. CBS is the big winner tomorrow, that’s for sure.
