Spieth rallies on back nine at Australian Open

Jordan Spieth made four birdies on the back nine to rebound from a sluggish start, and he is only two strokes behind Geoff Ogilvy heading into the final round at the Australian Open.

The world No. 5 was 1 over par after five holes, but then he got the putter working with birdies on Nos. 6 and 7. He added three more birdies on 12-14, made a bogey on 15, and added one more birdie on the par-5 16th before signing for a 4-under 68.

"I was very proud of how we played after the first five holes," Spieth said.
