SOUTHPORT: Jordan Spieth will take a three-shot lead into the final round of the British Open after shooting a bogey-free third round of 65 to go to 11 under par on Saturday at Royal Birkdale.
His playing partner and fellow American Matt Kuchar shot a 66 and sits alone in second place at eight under par as he seeks a first major at the age of 39.
US Open champion Brooks Koepka, who had shared the lead with Spieth and Kuchar after the first round, remains in contention following an eventful 68 that left him five-under for the championship.
Canada's Austin Connelly is also five under par, while Japan's world number two Hideki Matsuyama and South Africa's Branden Grace are both four under par.
Grace shot up the leaderboard after a major championship record-breaking round of 62 earlier in the day.
