ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – Jordan Spieth has recorded many firsts in his short 22 years on this planet. He racked up another in the third round of the $2.7 million Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.
He played in a six-ball.
Spieth recorded a 4-under 68 on Saturday at Abu Dhabi Golf Club to move into contention. He lies just three shots off the lead held by the quintet of Joost Luiten, Ian Poulter, Rory McIlroy, Branden Grace and Rickie Fowler.
The only problem for the two-time major champion is that the above five still have to complete their third rounds, as another fog delay of nearly three hours on Saturday forced a suspension of play due to darkness.
