AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) – Jordan Spieth set a 36-hole scoring record at the Masters.
The 21-year-old Texan turned in another dazzling round Friday, going to the weekend with a 14-under 130 total. That broke the record of 131, set by Raymond Floyd in 1976.
Spieth shot a 6-under 66 in the second round, essentially blowing away everyone in the field except Charley Hoffman. He finished five strokes behind, turning in the sort of performance that would normally be good enough for the lead.
Not the way Spieth is playing. He has 15 birdies and only one bogey through the first two days.
Former Coastal Carolina golfer Dustin Johnson hit three eagles Friday. He shot 5-under to move into a tie for third at seven strokes back. Greenville native Bill Haas shot 1-under Friday and is tied for eighth at 10 strokes back.
