SILVIS, Ill. (AP) – Jordan Spieth shot a career-best 10-under 61 Saturday to grab a two-shot lead at the John Deere Classic.
Spieth, who will try for his third straight major title next week at the British Open, was at 17-under 196 after the best round of the tournament since Steve Stricker shot a 60 five years ago.
Danny Lee is second after shooting a 62, followed by Shawn Stefani, Justin Thomas and Johnson Wagner at 14 under.
Spieth’s round was highlighted by a pair of eagles, including a 106-yarder on the 17th hole after he sent his tee shot into the trees.
Spieth also made six birdies.
