Jordan Spieth looking forward to a 'lot of fun' in McIlroy duel

Defending champion Jordan Spieth said he was looking forward to a “lot of fun” on Saturday in the company of Rory McIlroy as the pair duel for Masters supremacy.

World number two Spieth takes a one-shot advantage over Ireland's world number three going into Saturday's third round at Augusta National with McIlroy, chasing a career grand slam, closing the gap thanks to a one-under-par 71 on Friday while the American shot a 74. It means they will play together in the final pairing of a major at the weekend for the first time.
