Spieth Closer to Lead After Marathon Day in Singapore

SINGAPORE — Jordan Spieth inched closer to the top of the leaderboard after a long and frustrating day for the American at the weather-hit Singapore Open on Saturday.

Despite not playing his best in the sweltering humidity of Southeast Asia, the top-ranked Spieth kept himself in contention by ending the third day just three shots off the pace at the Sentosa Golf Club.

With tournament organizers forced to play catch-up after the first two days were interrupted by tropical storms, Spieth was on the course just after dawn to finish off his second round. After a 2-under 70, he was back out there when the sun went down in the evening, sitting at 6-under par for the tournament, with his ball marked on the 17th green.
