Jordan Spieth narrowly took the lead into the final round of the 2016 Masters Tournament.
The 22-year-old’s third round ended with a bogey, double-bogey finish (-3) on Saturday at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., leaving him only one spot ahead of Masters rookie Smylie Kaufman (-2).
Defending what could be back-to-back Masters title victories, Spieth played in Under Armour Drive One golf shoes. The footwear features water-resistant uppers and a structured heel for stability. Available for pre-order, the shoes cost $200 on UA’s website and ship May 2.
Meanwhile, expectations were high for Rory McIlroy, whose chances at a career grand slam in golf (Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship victories) don’t appear to be in the cards, as he fell five shots off the lead.
The Irish star finished a birdie-less game, making a Masters title win on Sunday’s final match rather elusive.

McIlroy played in his Nike Lunar Control 4 golf shoes, featuring dark blue and teal colorways, available on Nike’s website for $170.
The Masters Tournament began Monday and ends Sunday.
