Jordan Spieth at AT&T Byron Nelson 2016: Friday Leaderboard Score, Reaction

Jordan Spieth is in firm contention heading into the weekend at the 2016 AT&T Byron Nelson after firing a five-under 65 in Friday’s second round. The effort left him tied for first place with Brooks Koepka at 11 under as the afternoon wave of play kicked off at the TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving, Texas.   For a while it appeared Spieth was getting ready to pull away from the field, posting four birdies over a five-hole stretch to finish his first nine.
