'Nervy' Spieth in a "great position"

American youngster Jordan Spieth had admitted that he is in a "great position" going into the final day of the Masters at Augusta.

The 20-year-old is tied for the lead with compatriot Bubba Watson on five under after carding a third round of 70 on Saturday.

Spieth told reporters: "I've never had a round where I've been nervous on every single swing, shot, and putt.

"I'm sure that will happen [on Sunday], but hopefully I can channel it positively and stay grounded, stay cool, and see what happens.

"I'm in a great position, a position I haven't been in before but I'm excited about it. This is a place I've always dreamed about. It's kind of heaven on Earth for me."

Spieth is the second-youngest Major leader after 54 holes since 1945.
