Jordan Spieth has put himself into contention for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. The world number one was just three shots off the lead overnight, after carding a 68 to move to 7-under par overall. The two-time major winner was one of the few players to complete his third round, as morning fog again caused a long delay. Although happy with his score, Spieth says not all aspects of his game are quite there.
