Jordan Spieth couldn't quite replicate his strong play from the first two days during Saturday's third round of the 2015 U.S. Open. He shot a one-over 71, which still puts him right in the thick of things heading into the final round.

Spieth is at four under for the tournament, which is good enough to force a four-way tie atop the leaderboard. You can view the full standings after three days below:



It wouldn't be accurate to classify Spieth's Round 3 as a great day. However, his Saturday could've gone much worse after he struggled right out of the gate. And he's still tied for the 54-hole lead, which is always a nice position in which to be.

Without question, though, the back nine illustrated Spieth's resolve. Most golfers his age would've been completely rattled after such a roller-coaster start to the third round of a major tournament. That wasn't the case with Spieth.

ESPN's Jonathan Coachman was impressed with his body language throughout the round:



Spieth bogeyed 11 but got that stroke back with a birdie on 15.
