Spieth has a 5 shot lead at Hyundai Tournament of Champions

PGA Tour Hyundai Tournament of Champions leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/hyundai-tournament-of-champions/leaderboard.html

Through three rounds of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Jordan Spieth is -24 and leads Brooks Koepka by five shots.

Koepka is a brilliant 25 year old from Florida who many of you will know packed up his bags and went over to learn how to be a pro in Europe on the Challenge then European Tours. He changed from Titleist to Nike over Christmas and he had the round of the day after he made 10 birdies for a brilliant 63. -19, which is just one short of tying the course record 62 held by K.J. Choi and Graeme McDowell.

However after all that he still trails the relentless Spieth who has shot 66 64 65 is get to -24. Speaking of course records Ernie Els was at -25 after 3 rounds here at Kapalua before he went on to win at -31 so that is something for young Jordan to gun for today.

He is such a solid player, not the longest driver on tour, but he makes up for that with a great long iron game and an even better short game, and when he wins he is just as good a clutch putter as there is in golf today. He just doesn't make many mistakes.

Patrick Reed 67 is 3rd at -18, then Brandt Snedeker 65 and Fabian Gomez 70 are at -15, but don't expect any of them to catch Spieth when play resumes later today.
