Jordan Spieth continues to play just a little better than anyone else at the Travelers Championship.

The 23-year-old Texan closed with a 20-foot birdie putt for a 4-under 66 on Saturday, giving him a one-stroke lead for the third straight round at TPC River Highlands.

After predicting earlier that it would take a score of 16 under to win, the two-time major champion took a 12-under 198 total into the final round.

Boo Weekley was second after a 65. The 43-year-old Weekley, playing just in front of Spieth, birdied five of the last eight holes, basking in the chants of “Boooo! Boooo!” from the raucous gallery.

Spieth bogeyed Nos. 13 and 14, but matched Weekley with three birdies on the final four holes, capping it with the final shot of the round from below the hole.

“It’s in the shadow,” Spieth said. “I’m looking to hit the putt at the right speed. If it goes in, great, if it doesn’t, so be it, tap it in. With a few feet to go it was going to have a chance and it curled right in the middle. That was a loud roar, and those are really fun to experience.

Weekley is looking for his fourth tour title and first since 2013. The colorful Floridian said he’s been dealing with personal issues, but declined to elaborate. His had a season-best tie for 37th at the Puerto Rico Open in March and has made just eight cuts in 21 events.

Rohanna tied for fifth: Rachel Rohanna of Waynesburg shot a 5-under-par 67 and is tied for fifth at 4-under at the Island Resort Championships in Harris, Mich., Saturday.

The second round was suspended because of unplayable conditions with about a quarter of the field yet to finish. Emma Talley holds a 3-stroke lead.

Garcia tied for lead: Sergio Garcia carded a 5-under 67 to join Richard Bland in a share of the lead in the third round of the BMW International Open on Saturday.

Garcia, playing his first event in Europe since his Masters win, and Bland of England settled at 13 under overall going into Sunday’s final round on Munich’s Eichenried course.

Bland hit water on the 11th hole but recovered for his fourth birdie, and he followed up with an eagle on the 13th to move ahead.

“I hit some really good shots out there and I hit a couple of scrappy ones coming in but my short game saved me,” Bland said. “Got my feet wet and holed a second shot into 13. So yeah, kind of ran pretty much into everything.”

Garcia stumbled with his second bogey on the 14th, but the Spaniard bounced back with birdies on the 15th and 17th holes, his sixth and seventh, to go level.

Broadhurst leads Champions event: Paul Broadhurst shot a 3-under 69 in windy conditions at University Ridge to maintain a two-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ American Family Insurance Open.

Broadhurst followed birdies on the par-5 16th and par-3 17th with a bogey on the par-4 18th to finish at 12-under 132.

The 51-year-old Englishman opened with a 63. He won the Senior British Open and PURE Insurance Championship last year.
