Great third round. Spieth, up by 7 strokes going into the last 2 holes, takes a double bogey on 17, then chokes his second shot on 18. It looked like total collapse and the best he could hope for was a bogey, but he gets it together enough to get up and down and save the round and break Tiger's record for lowest score through 54 holes.
Speaking of Woods, all he did was build on yesterday's round and shoot his best round in a major in years. Even with that he is no threat to compete on Sunday. Phil and Rose both look dangerous. How will Spieth handle the pressure? 17 has to be playing over and over in his head. What if he heads into 17 tomorrow with a one stroke lead on Phil? It should be great drama. I'm rooting for the kid.

Here I go throwing a bone to all the little brown nose Puddy Tat fans. Your old fading balding hero had his first back-to-back sub-70 scores at the Masters since 2005, the last time he donned the green jacket.
Shall I say for all of you.
I'll go ahead and say it. :)
"Tiger's lurking".
Ooooh, that sounds scary.

I agree with all that is said here. Spieth had a chance to shut the door, but left it slightly open. He's still in control. However, he's never won on the tour after having a 54 hole lead. It could still get interesting tomorrow.

Gordon Spieth is now on a record setting pace breaking the 54 hole record at the Masters. Will he have the right stuff to go all the way to break the total Masters record? Its going to be fun watching him going for it.

He will have a chance to break the record. As long as no one makes a strong early run at him he may be able to stay relaxed enough to shoot a 3 under or better.

Wow, in Majors since 2001, when leading by 4 strokes or more heading into the final round, only 55% have been able to hold on and win. Rory last went into a final round with a 4 stroke lead only to finish 8th. Had Spieth taken a par on that 17 this thing would be over, instead it is nothing more than a coin flip.
Time to ice down some brew and fire up the Que. Good luck kid. At least he's paired with Rose and not Phil. Should be a little less intimidating.

I'd hardly call a 4 shot lead going into the final day at Augusta a "coin flip", but it's still a game for the last two pairings. Strange things can & often do happen on the closing 9.
