Spieth expands Masters lead as green jacket awaits

There's doubt now.


Just when it seemed like Sunday would be a celebratory parade for Jordan Spieth, the 21-year-old Texan made double-bogey 6 on the 17th hole in the third round of the Masters.


Instead of carrying a nearly insurmountable lead in the final round, Spieth's 2-under 70 reduced his five-shot overnight edge to four heading into Sunday. Spieth is still on pace to topple Tiger Woods' 72-hole tournament record of 18-under 270, but, at 16 under through three rounds, a win is not a certainty.


Instead of having a tee time with journeyman Charley Hoffman as he did Saturday, Spieth now has to play with 2013 U.S. Open champion Justin Rose. Rose birdied five of his last six holes to shoot 67 and get to 12 under par.


Three-time Masters winner Phil Mickelson, who also shot a Saturday 67, is a shot behind Rose.
