Jordan Spieth returns to within a stroke of Sebastian Muñoz in front of his Dallas home crowd, after 54 holes from AT&T Byron Nelson. Justin Thomas and world number one Scottie Scheffler are in ambush. Paul Barjon clings to the top 50.
Sebastian Muñoz (-21) continues to sit at the top of the AT&T Byron Nelson ranking! Leader since his record score of 60 on the first day, the 29-year-old Colombian completed his third round in 66, with an eagle on the small par 4 of the 6 and a single bogey on the 16.
What a shot from @JSMunozGolf! 🦅

Jordan Spieth worn by his audience
But the winner of the 2019 Sanderson Farms Championship will have to be wary of the Texan’s return Jordan Spieth which is only one stroke behind and will be worn by the entire Dallas public on Sunday! The three-time Major winner lined up eight birdies on his first fourteen holes to confirm that he is gaining momentum with his best card of the week (64, -8).

A Chilean hunts another
While the Chilean Myth Pereira was second after the first lap (he is now 21st), it is his compatriot Joaquin Niemann who completes the podium after 54 holes. James Hahn jumped to fourth place after a fiery 61 (nine birdies and an eagle at 12, the easiest hole on Saturday)! American stars Justin Thomas (4th at -18) and world number one Scottie Scheffler (9th, -16) are heavy underdogs for the title, as is South Korean defending champion KH Lee (6th, -17). With a modest card of 74, the English David Skinnswho discovered the PGA Tour at 40, tumbled to 21st place when he was co-leader halfway through the tournament. Paul Barjon signs a third card under 70, but the course of the TPC Craig Ranch is so easy in these ideal weather conditions, that it remains just in the top 50 (47th, -10).
Birdie at the last for @JustinThomas34.
He gets within 4. pic.twitter.com/jjr0iV8MPo
