SOUTHPORT, England -- Jordan Spieth finished off a windy and wet second round of the British Open with a 1-under 69 to take the lead.
This is the fourth time the 23-year-old Texan has at least a share of the 36-hole lead in a major. He won the Masters and U.S. Open in 2015 and had control of the 2016 Masters until his infamous triple bogey on the 12th hole at Augusta National.
Spieth seized control of the lead with birdies on the 11th and 12th hole.
