Spieth climbs to second place in Australian Open

Jordan Spieth overcame a disastrous start to finish eagle-birdie and move into second place in the Australian Open. Here's how things stand in Sydney, where Matt Jones leads Spieth by three shots going into the final round:

Leaderboard: Matt Jones (-10), Jordan Spieth (-7), Rhein Gibson (-5), Aron Price (-4), Lincoln Tighe (-4), Geoff Ogilvy (-3), Darren Clarke (-1), Brett Rumford (-1), Adam Scott (-1), Todd Sinnott (-1)

What it means: Jones, a one-time winner on the PGA Tour and the 36-hole leader at this year's PGA Championship, shot 68 and maintained the three-shot lead he held after 36 holes.
