(Reuters) - Jordan Spieth used a late barrage of birdies to build a three-shot lead after the third round of the Northern Trust in Old Westbury, New York, on Saturday and put himself in position for his fourth victory of the year.
The British Open champion seized control with three straight birdies from the 14th en route to a six-under 64 at Glen Oaks Club where he leads world number one Dustin Johnson (67) in the first of the PGA Tour's four lucrative FedExCup playoff events.
