Crane leads after 2 rounds at Nelson, Spieth a stroke back (The Associated Press)

IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Ben Crane made a 14-foot birdie putt on his last hole Friday for a 7-under 63 and a one-stroke lead after two rounds at the Byron Nelson.

At 12-under 128, Crane was one stroke ahead of Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, Brooks Koepka and Bud Cauley.

Spieth had a 65. He's playing only his second tournament since squandering a five-stroke lead on the back nine at the Masters. The world's No. 2-ranked player missed the cut last week at The Players Championship.

The last time Crane led a tournament was at Memphis two years ago, the last of his five PGA Tour victories.
