SOUTHPORT, England Under normal circumstances, while approaching the 18th green during a round, Jordan Spieth is trying to get a feel for what his putt will do.Saturday was different though. As Spieth reached for his greens book, he realized that this wasnt just any other round. This was The Open ... at Royal Birkdale ... and he was leading.A couple seconds later, playing partner Matt Kuchar walked over to Spieth and said, this is a pretty cool moment, lets soak this in.So they did, together.

Everyone is giving us an ovation and its a time to appreciate that, enjoy the walk, but also to say thank you for the support that these crowds give, Spieth said. I think these crowds are second to none. Theyre the most educated golf fans.That 18th hole walk is a really, really special thing to do, whether its Monday in a practice round or its Saturday or Sunday afternoon.Five minutes later, Spieth drained a 15-footer for birdie to shoot 65 and take a three-shot lead into the final round.
On the flip side, Tiger was 24 when he won this event for the only time in 2000, so Spieth has 1-up on him there. Of course, Woods turned around four months later and won at Pebble Beach for the second time that year (this time the U.S. Open). Spieth will have to wait until 2019 until he can attempt to duplicate that feat.
