Jordan Spieth needs a win at the Tour Championship and some help if he wants to snag back-to-back FedEx Cup titles, but he didn't do his already thin chances any favors Friday.   

Following a two-under showing Thursday, Spieth encountered an up-and-down second round at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta that resulted in a score of two-over, which sent his 36-hole total down to even.  

Here's a look at Spieth's completed second-round scorecard: 



And here's an overview of the updated leaderboard, which features Dustin Johnson and Kevin Chappell ahead of the pack: 




After Spieth went bogey-double bogey on his first two holes of Thursday's opening round, he figured to be a bit more locked in with ground to be made up. 

However, his front nine started off in rocky fashion once again due to a pair of early slip-ups. 

A bogey on the par-three second dampened Spieth's hopes as he fell to one under for the championship, and another dropped shot on No. 4 sent him tumbling back to even par as Johnson continued his ascent up the leaderboard. 

And while Spieth was briefly in danger of falling out of contention entirely, he clawed his way back into red figures as the front nine came to a close. 

Pars on Nos. 5 and 6 allowed the world No. 4 to settle down a bit, and a birdie on the par-four seventh appeared to spark Spieth as he headed for the turn. 

Another birdie on No. 10 catapulted Spieth back to two under for the tournament, and he held steady at that number despite hitting his tee shot on No. 12 into the fairway bunker. 

Part of the reason he was able to escape was a stellar approach, which came on the heels of a similar shot by his playing partner, Justin Thomas: 



But as it turned out, Spieth couldn't dodge danger for long.
