Woods happy in Abu Dhabi

American Tiger Woods was delighted after he moved into a share of the lead at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.

The 14-time major winner finished Saturday's play in a tie for first with Englishman Robert Rock.

He shot six birdies and avoided a blemish in his terrific round of 66.

"I'm very pleased, I was just consistent today," Woods said.

"It felt like I didn't do a lot of things right and that I didn't do a lot of things wrong, I was just at a happy medium. It was a very consistent round. I hit a lot of conservative shots out there."

"I played away from a lot of flags and just trusted my light putting, and I took care of the par fives a little bit better today."

Woods is not getting carried away though, and knows he will need to play well on the final day if he is to produce victory.

"There's a ton of guys with a chance to win tomorrow so I can't go out there tomorrow and shoot an even par round and expect to win," he said.

"So I've got to go out there and get it done and post a good number - basically do what I've been doing."

Sharing the lead with Woods is 34-year-old Rock, who has one win on the European Tour.

His experience is in stark contrast to that of Woods, but he has form on his side.

"I've been playing reasonably well over the last few weeks with a couple of decent finishes in South Africa," Rock said.

"I've done really well here in the past but I had a good first couple of rounds and carried on playing well today so I'm pretty pleased overall."
