Maybe there’s nothing substantial to consecutive weeks of stellar play from former World No. 1 Jordan Spieth, but he’s certainly making life on the PGA Tour more interesting again.
After holing out for eagle on the 10th hole during Thursday’s opening round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the Monterey Peninsula, Spieth put together solid rounds to enter Saturday’s third round at the top of the leaderboard.
He slipped a bit mid-round on Saturday, but climbed back to the top of the board with another spectacular shot — this time a masterful 8-iron he shaped home on the 16th hole.
Unlike Thursday’s shot that rolled back into the cup, his shot on Saturday ended up smoothly winding in for eagle, pushing Spieth to 13 under for the tournament.

In 18 years of competition, the only other player to have two hole-outs of over 100 yards in one tournament was Blake Adams, who did so in the 2010 event.
Spieth faltered last week on Sunday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, but his T-4 finish felt like a turning point.
Saturday’s play only helped to cement that theory.
