Jordan Spieth continued his fine form by extending his lead at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am during Saturday’s third round.
The three-time Major champion took a one-shot lead into moving day where he had to express a lot of composure to remain in front.
Spieth battled through the California course and signed off with a one-under-par 71 to move to 13 under for the week.
