Jordan Spieth’s Colonial power unfaltering: Final round preview of the Charles Schwab Challenge
The Texan carded a third round 66 to take a one shot lead over Jason Kokrak into the final day on 15-under 195.
Spieth had gone 36 holes without a bogey prior to Saturday and he stretched that run to 40 before needing to scratch a couple of errors on his card, but the birdie count remained high as he completed a second 66 to back up his first round 63.
Sergio Garcia, who shared the first round lead, might have hoped that adding scores of 69-68 would keep him in-contention.
In one sense, they have: he's alone in third, two clear of Ian Poulter and Sebastian Munoz who share fourth.

Spieth had a lot going for him at the start of the week.
Jordan Spieth could move as high as 17th in the World Ranking with a win tomorrow.
