"It was just a neat moment, " Kuchar said after the round.
Thus far Spieth, who did not have a single bogey today, has looked invincible.
The two Americans had seen off everyone else and now all that was left to decide was the size of Spieth's lead going into the final day. "It was a fun walk".
Jordan Spieth owns a two-shot lead at the 2017 British Open ahead of Round 3 at Royal Birkdale Golf club in Southport, Merseyside, on Saturday.
On a mostly sunny day when Brendan Grace shot a 62 - the lowest round ever in a major championship - Spieth never stumbled, recording five birdies and no bogeys.
Spieth, the 2015 Masters and US Open champion, leads by three from his fellow American Matt Kuchar, who sits at eight under par.
No one did it better than South African Branden Grace, who not only shot the round of the day but recorded the first 62 in major championship history - a feat he was blissfully unaware of as he climbed the leaderboard. Several players are at 3-under, including defending champion Henrik Stenson and No. 1-ranked Dustin Johnson.
That's good news for Spieth and Kuchar, who are scheduled to tee off in the final twosome at 2:30 p.m. local time.
"I think I'm in a position where it can be very advantageous, just everything I've gone through, the good, the bad and everything in the middle", he said. 'What happened at the Masters a year ago was a humbling experience but I've learned from it, ' said Spieth. "I understand that leads can be squandered quickly, and I also understand how you can keep on rolling on one". "If you keep it in play, it's nearly hard to make a bogey out there, you know?"
Spieth, who will celebrate his 24th birthday next week, and Kuchar each turned in 31 to open up a healthy cushion over the rest of the field.
OJ Simpson is granted parole
Simpson also told the board he is a better man and a "better Christian" and has a new appreciation for those less advantaged. He said it was "mind-boggling" that he had been incarcerated for trying to retrieve property that was later ruled to be his.
A 1-under 69 just didn't cut it on a day of ideal conditions with Grace shooting 62, Jordan Spieth 65 and Matt Kuchar 66. "But that was relatively stress free considering", Spieth said. "I played well. I'm not out of this".
"I just have to continue to play good golf", Kuchar said. "Jordan and I pushed each other on and at one point we weren't sure whose honour it was because there were so many birdies going in".
More than any other player near the top, Spieth knows what Sunday brings.
Now it's up to him to close and make history.
"Tomorrow will be a day that will be emotionally draining and hard to stay very neutral in the head, but that's probably the most important thing for me to do". "But that's probably the most important thing for me to do".
"It's a different feeling", he said, "and one that's harder to sleep with than the other way around because you feel like you've got to nearly change the way you do things".
"You nearly kind of see the finish line, and you control your own destiny".
Forty-two golfers posted under-par scores in the third round, which was contested in benign conditions and bright sunshine, a complete reversal from the cold wind and driving rain the golfers faced a day before, when the average score was more than 75 and eight scores in the 80s were carded. "I'm excited about it". Kuchar now faces the task of running down one of golf's great frontrunners, playing in the final group of a major for the first time in his career.
So, if you think anyone is going to stop Spieth from winning Sunday, bagging his third career major championship and the third leg of a career Grand Slam at age 23, raise your hand. "He's obviously done all the right things to score well, which is what you have to do on windy links".
