Spieth surges to 2-shot lead at John Deere Classic (Yahoo Sports)
Jordan Spieth’s tee shot on the par-5 17th hole landed in the trees. Spieth’s decision to spurn Scotland for the John Deere Classic looks more prescient with each passing round. Spieth, bolstered by a 106-yard eagle on No. 17, shot a career-best 10-under 61 in the third round Saturday to grab a two-shot lead.
