Leading: Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed, tied at 5-under 135.
Just behind: Dustin Johnson and Branden Grace are a stroke behind at 4 under. Four others are another shot back.
Where’s Tiger? Tiger Woods missed the cut after shooting 16-over 156. Only three players were worse than the three-time Open champion.
Also missing: Defending champion Martin Kaymer and two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson also missed the cut. So did Rickie Fowler and former champion Graeme McDowell.
Noteworthy: Spieth, who won the Masters, would be halfway to the Grand Slam should he win. No one has ever won the modern Grand Slam.
Key stat: Of the 16 players who go into the weekend under par, only Spieth has won a major title.
Quoteworthy: “It’s pretty much like putting on broccoli.” — Henrik Stenson on the greens at Chambers Bay
