Na settles for 69, 2-shot Colonial lead over Spieth, Furyk
FORT WORTH, Texas — If Jordan Spieth thinks a winless streak approaching two years seems like forever, he might want to check with fellow major winner Jim Furyk.
Both have a chance to end droughts at Colonial — if they can overtake third-round leader Kevin Na.
Na settled for a 1-under 69 a day after going low at Colonial again, taking a two-shot lead at 9 under Saturday over a group that included the local favourite in Spieth and Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open champion who hasn’t won in four years.
“I’m not really looking at it as like the glass is half empty, the hourglass has almost run out of sand,” said the 49-year-old Furyk, who has just one of his 17 PGA Tour victories in the past nine years but was second at the Players Championship in March. “This year has been kind of a new lease on life.”
