Round 2 of the 2014 Players Championship ended just as Round 1 did: with Martin Kaymer sitting atop the leaderboard.

On Thursday, the 61st-best player on the PGA Tour got off to a blistering start. His nine-under 63 set him up beautifully for the rest of the tournament and tied a course record:



Although Kaymer failed to replicate that opening-round brilliance, he did enough to keep his lead over Jordan Spieth. After a three-under 69 in Round 2, he holds a one-shot advantage.



His 12 under after two rounds is tied for the second-best 36-hole score in TPC history. Kaymer is in good company, with all of the other golfers on the list having been ranked No. 1 in the world at some point, per ESPN Stats and Info's Justin Ray:



Kaymer was among the early groups to tee off on Friday, meaning he was in the clubhouse for a little bit while Spieth, Gary Woodland, Geoff Ogilvy and Russell Henley attempted to gain either a share or outright ownership of the lead.

Despite that, he remained nonplussed about it all, per GolfChannel.com's Jason Sobel:



Spieth made things interesting late in the day. With birdies on 11, 13 and 14, he looked as if he may overtake Kaymer. However, Spieth ended his round with four straight birdies to finish at 11 under for the tournament.

Still, as Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman pointed out, he did well to take a large chunk out of Kaymer's lead:



Also, Spieth makes me feel like I've done nothing with my life:



While the 20-year-old could be happy with his Round 2, the same couldn't be said of Henley.

With a seven-under 65 in the first round, Henley was in a great position to try to make a move on Kaymer. However, he kept taking one step forward and then one step back. Right when Henley would get under par, a bogey or two would undo his good work.
