Scottie Scheffler knew he had to make a bunch of birdies in the third round at Colonial for any chance to win in his third consecutive start.

On No. 10 the 2016 Charles Schwab Challenge champion sank a 28-foot birdie putt to cross over to safety. Then bogeys at No. 13 and 15 had Spieth in need of a birdie on the closing holes. He got it at No. 17, nestling his approach 6 feet from the cup and sinking the putt for a 71 to go to even-par for 36 holes.
