Paul Casey remained in contention in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after finishing the third round just three shots back from Jordan Spieth.
Amid testing, windy conditions that made low scoring difficult, Casey followed his opening rounds of 68 and 67 with a one-under 71 to go to 10 under for the tournament.
American Spieth — seeking his first win since the 2017 British Open at Royal Birkdale — maintained his second round lead by also shooting a 71.
This left him two shots ahead of a group of five players at 11 under, including Scotland’s Russell Knox, who shot three birdies in a bogey-free 69.
Australia’s Jason Day is among the quartet sharing seventh place including Casey, on a day in which the lowest round was a 67.
Casey had only one blunder, but that was a double-bogey five sandwiched between two birdies at the fourth and sixth. He made a birdie three at the 11th alongside eight pars on his homeward nine.
Spieth had three birdies against one bogey on his front nine, stumbled with bogeys at the 10th, 12th and 14th, but recovered in spectacular fashion — holing out with an eight-iron from 160 yards for an eagle two on the 16th.
