Jordan Spieth remains some way off top form, but the three-time major champion is now playing the weekend at The Masters.

Spieth didn’t make a single bogey in his third round at The Masters, where he is currently T21 in the leaderboard.

The American carded rounds of 73, 73 and 69 at Augusta National, the site of his first-ever major championship win.

Justin Rose thinks Spieth is in the peak of his career, with the latter rising 19 places in the leaderboard after impressing in round three.

Spieth is a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour, with those wins also including successes at the US Open and The Open Championship.

What Tiger Woods told Jordan Spieth that helped him win The Masters in 2015

He won the former in 2015 and the latter in 2017, but has recently been analysing his stunning win at The Masters 10 years ago, and in particular a significant putt on the 16th hole.

“The funny thing about that putt is I played a practice round on Wednesday with Ben Crenshaw and Tiger Woods,” Spieth told Golf on CBS.

“I finished on 16 and I’m walking to 17, and I stopped on the side of the green, and I looked back and Tiger was hitting that putt from about the same range, about the same spot. But he was hitting it… he hit it like six or seven times.

“I believe I asked him ‘What are you doing there?’ He goes ‘It always breaks more than you think right there. It’s always a little quicker, so you have to play more break to get to the fall line’.

“And I ended up having that same putt and it was the most important putt that I probably ever hit in my life.”

Jordan Spieth putt on Augusta 16th falls short of Tiger Woods chip

Spieth last won on the PGA Tour in 2022, but he will always have that unforgettable triumph at Augusta to his name.

And while that clutch par-putt on the par-three 16th was undoubtedly a crucial moment, it still falls well short of an effort from Woods on the exact same hole.

En route to his win at The Masters in 2005, the legendary figure chipped in for perhaps the greatest shot in the history of the tournament, which sent the patrons and even Woods into a frenzy.

Spieth meanwhile is now featuring at The Masters for the 12th time, with another triumph very unlikely this time around.

He entered Sunday at Augusta on one-under, with four-time major champion Rory McIlroy leading the way on 12-under.

But he can be proud of his efforts regardless of where he ends up, having been severely hampered by a wrist injury in recent times.

The American first injured his wrist all the way back in May 2023, before finally having surgery on the problem last August.

A decade has now arrived since Spieth clinched the green jacket on 18-under, four shots ahead of Phil Mickelson and Rose.
