Jordan Spieth shot a 5-under 65, even while missing a lot of fairways and a few greens, to take the third-round lead Saturday of the Dean & Deluca Invitational at Colonial in Fort Worth.
The second-ranked Spieth was alone in the lead after three birdies and a huge par save in a four-hole stretch in the middle of his round. At 12-under 198, he was one stroke ahead of Colonial member Ryan Palmer and Webb Simpson.
Palmer overcame consecutive bogeys early to shoot 66. Simpson shot 67 after 3-foot par putt at the 18th hole for a share of the lead lipped out of the cup.
None of Spieth’s seven PGA Tour victories have come in his home state of Texas.
Spieth hit only three of 14 fairways and 11 of 18 greens in regulation. But his only bogey was on the last hole.
Champions — Rocco Mediate shot an even-par 71 in windy conditions in the Senior PGA Championship to take a two-stroke lead over two-time defending champion Colin Montgomerie into the final round.
Four strokes ahead at a tournament-record 14 under entering the day, Mediate had three birdies and three bogeys — his first of the week — at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich. He matched the course and tournament records with an opening 62 and had a 66 on Friday.
‘‘I was ecstatic with today, believe it or not,’’ Mediate said. ‘‘I would love to have made a couple more putts, but so would everybody else in the field. But I was happy with the way I felt. I felt good.’’
‘‘The club was flying today. I let it, just let it go, even more than first two days, believe it or not. I just didn’t hole enough putts. ... But I was ecstatic with the shots I hit into some of these wind conditions. It’s a good sign.’’
The 53-year-old Mediate won both of his Champions Tour titles in 2013 after winning six times on the PGA Tour.
In the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, he lost to Tiger Woods on the first extra hole after an 18-hole playoff.
‘‘I can’t wait until tomorrow,’’ Mediate said. ‘‘Today, I wanted to see what I had and I had it. It wasn’t bad. The golf course was hard today, I thought. Wind was cooking, it was just hard. This golf course is hard without any wind. ... This is what you want to feel. I’m playing against one of the best we have. A lot of the best we have are just a little bit behind. So, it’s not going to be easy and it’s not supposed to be easy. It’s going to be a tough day and it’s going to be a fun day.’’
Montgomerie had a 68 to reach 12 under.
‘‘It was very difficult today,’’ Montgomerie said. ‘‘Club selection was extremely difficult on a course that demands good club selection or else you got out of position. I would have taken 68 at the start of the day. It was very windy and very difficult to judge the distances into the pins. So, I was delighted with 68. It’s one of the better scores of the leading pack.
The 52-year-old Scot won the major championship in 2014 at Harbor Shores and last year at French Lick Resort in Indiana. He also won the 2014 U.S. Senior Open.
‘‘You know how much this tournament championship means to me,’’ Montgomerie said. ‘‘Obviously, my first 72-hole stroke play win here in America and managed to repeat the feat last year. To come back here, I wanted to make a good showing of it. I really did. I wanted to come here and contend on Saturday night. And that’s what I’ve done. So, I’m in a position where I can win.’’
Club pro John DalCorobbo was third at 11 under after a 69. The 51-year-old DalCorobbo is a PGA assistant professional at Brickyard Crossing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He won the Senior PGA Professional in October to top the club pro qualifiers.
Tom Lehman, Kirk Triplett and Brandt Jobe were 10 under, all shooting 69.
‘‘A little tougher conditions, I thought,’’ Triplett said. ‘‘Some good pins. A little bit more wind. It made you think. The greens are still receptive and guys can still make birdies. ... Twelve-, 13-under’s not going to win it, you’re going to have to get to 15, 16 to have a chance.’’
Bernhard Langer had a 71 to drop into a tie for seventh at 9 under in his bid to become the first player to win all five PGA Tour Champions majors. The 58-year-old German won the Regions Tradition last week in Alabama for his sixth senior major title and 100th worldwide victory. In Alabama, Langer joined Nicklaus as the only players to win four different senior majors.
European — Scott Hend of Australia eagled No. 18 for the second straight day to reclaim the third-round lead of the BMW PGA Championship, as Masters champion Danny Willett slipped down the leaderboard with a 76 to finish in a tie for fifth at 6 under.
Hend started the day tied for the lead with Willett at 10 under and ended it at 9 under with a one-stroke advantage over Englishman Tyrrell Hatton, who shot the lowest round of the day, a 66.
Hend needed an 8-iron approach on the par-5 18th to land within 3 feet of the cup to save him from an otherwise rocky back nine at Wentworth in England.
‘‘It was a nice bonus,’’ said Hend, who is seeking his second victory of the year. ‘‘I got a lucky bounce, but it was very nice.’’
LPGA — Ariya Jutanugarn made a 15-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole Saturday at Travis Pointe in Ann Arbor, Mich., to take a one-stroke lead in the Volvik Championship.
Trying to become the first to win three straight LPGA Tour events since Inbee Park in 2013, the 20-year-old Jutanugarn shot a 1-over 73 to reach 10-under 206.
She won three weeks ago in Alabama to become the first Thai winner in tour history and followed with a victory last week in Virginia.
Jessica Korda and Christina Kim were tied for second. Korda had a 70, and Kim shot 72.
