Jordan Spieth at PGA Championship 2016: Friday Leaderboard Score and Reaction
- Updated: July 29, 2016
Jordan Spieth made his move Friday at the 2016 PGA Championship, as the world’s No. 3 player posted a three-under 67 in the second round to enter the clubhouse in a tie for seventh place at three under overall.
Following an even-par 70 in the first round, Spieth settled in at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, and he put himself in position to contend over the weekend. Here is a look at the leaderboard as things currently stand:
