Champ Kind Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 By Larry Fine AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Jordan Spieth threatened to turn the year's first major into a runaway as he fired a six-under-par 66 for a five-shot lead and a Masters record for lowest 36-hole total at Augusta National on Friday. Playing with a steely focus and pinpoint precision, the 21-year-old Spieth reached the halfway mark on 14-under-par 130 to surpass the 131 posted by Raymond Floyd on his way to winning the 1976 Masters. Any time you can set a record here is pretty awesome," said Spieth. "I'm very excited about today and the way I struck the ball." Spieth, with 15 birdies and one bogey in his two rounds, also equalled the lowest 36-hole total for any major championship.
