Jordan Spieth set for first win of season at Hyundai Tournament of Champions

Jordan Spieth on course for Hawaii win

World number one Jordan Spieth has opened up a five-shot lead going into the final round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.

The American sits at 24-under-par after three rounds thanks to a 65 on Saturday that almost included a walk-off albatross.

At the par-five 18th, Spieth's approach just missed the hole and he tapped home for an eagle to go five clear at the top of the leaderboard.

Brooks Koepka had the round of the day with a bogey-free, 10-under 63 and he is second on 19-under, one ahead of another American in Patrick Reed (67).

The next-best are Brandt Snedeker and Fabian Gomez at 15-under, nine back from Spieth, who is chasing a seventh PGA Tour win.
