Golf: Five-way overnight tie in Abu Dhabi

Five players are tied for the lead at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, although a number are yet to finish their third round after another weather-affected day. Heavy morning fog for a second consecutive day caused an approximate three-hour delay to proceedings. The leaders (Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Joost Luiten, Branden Grace & Ian Poulter) are all on five-under, although they're at different stages of their round. It's after heavy morning fog caused an approximate three-hour delay to proceedings, for a second consecutive day. However, Jordan Spieth, the world number one, is one of the few who has completed his third round. He raced to get it done before sunset, hitting his tee shot on the 18th as the hooter sounded, before carding a round of 68 to move to seven-under par overall, putting him in contention near the top though.
