The stories at the top and bottom of the leaderboard at the Hero World Challenge were very different.  At the lowest rung was tournament host, Tiger Woods, fighting nausea and actually vomiting during the third  round.

Spieth was enthusiastic about his round.

"Got off to a dream start with a 20‑footer and then a good bounce on 2 and a birdie on 3," he said about the early momentum. "From there it was rolling. Played the par‑fives well, which was important. Played the easier holes...
