"Any time you can set a record here is pretty awesome," Spieth said. "I'm really excited about how I played."
Fourth-ranked Spieth broke the Masters 36-hole low of 13-under 131 set by Ray Floyd in 1976.
Lahiri in 50th spot
Meanwhile, Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri turned in an improved performance in the third round but was still unable to make a move up the leaderboard at the Masters, staying tied 50th after carding a two-over 74.
He shot one birdie and one bogey each, besides a double bogey that dragged his score down in the third round.
