Biggest disappointment - Charley Hoffman
Hoffman moved into a tie for the lead with Spieth after a birdie at the par-4 15th. However, the 40-year-old imploded with a double-bogey, bogey, bogey finish, and sits six shots back.

Stat - Wire to wire
Only two players have gone wire to wire at the Travelers Championship, but none have done so at TPC River Highlands.
Sunday's storyline
- Spieth can claim his 10th career PGA Tour victory tomorrow. In doing so, he'd join Tiger Woods as the only players in the modern era to have 10 wins before the age of 24.
