Jordan Spieth captured the first major championship of his career in April at the Masters and the 21-year-old is right in the thick of contention for his second major at the 2015 U.S. Open. Spieth shot a 3-under round of 67 to move to 5-under for the tournament and a share of the lead. Spieth does have the advantage of being in the clubhouse at 5-under, especially with conditions becoming more difficult throughout the day.

The afternoon wave is beginning to make its way around Chambers Bay and they are all chasing Jordan Spieth’s pace.

In the early going, it appeared Spieth might really post a low number. He birdied his first hole of the day and tallied three more birdies on his next seven holes to move to 4-under on the round through seven. That run came to a screeching halt on No. 18 when Spieth ran into trouble in a bunker and wound up making a double bogey. He steadied the round on his second nine, carding two birdies and a bogey on the side to finish off the 67. Depending on how the afternoon wave fares, Spieth could find himself in the lead heading to the weekend at a major, a position he’s becoming very familiar with.
The day did not go as well for Tiger Woods who currently sits in a tie for 154th place out of 156 players. Only Darren Clarke has posted a worse score than Woods who finished the second round at 16-over after shooting a 6-over 76 on Friday. Woods was better in the second round than he was on Thursday, but still continued to struggle with his game. He made just two birdies on the round and finished with three straight bogeys. The round wrapped the worst major championship of Woods’ career. He will now go back to the drawing board as the process to regain his championship form continues.
Jason Day carded an even-par 70 to remain at 2-under, but his round wasn’t without a scare. Day fell to the ground on his 18th hole and complained of dizziness. He was forced to drop to a knee multiple times before finishing his round and receiving medical treatment.
