Leaderboard: Spieth taking charge at Open
With a brilliant eagle on the par-5 15th hole, Jordan Spieth pushed his lead to 3 shots at Royal Birkdale in the second round. The two-time major winner is playing in some of the worst conditions of the week so far.
PGA Tour
Jordan Spieth has chipped in, holed a 35-footer, came within a few feet of an ace and made eagle -- and that's just in the last six holes. He's taking a commanding lead in what could be a historic win this weekend. If he claims the Claret Jug, the soon-to-be 24-year-old will need only the PGA Championship title for the career grand slam.
