Jordan Spieth had surged to the top of the leaderboard at 12 under par by the time his third round concluded at the 2016 Dean & DeLuca Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday.

Spieth finished two shots off the lead Friday, but he continues to improve in each round. Here are his numbers through three outings:
