Jordan Spieth breaks Floyd's 36-hole record at Masters
Fox News ^ | April 10, 2016 | AP

DEVELOPING: Jordan Spieth set a 36-hole scoring record at the Masters on Friday.

The 21-year-old Texan turned in another dazzling round, going to the weekend with a 14-under 130 total. That broke the record of 131, set by Raymond Floyd in 1976.

Spieth shot a 6-under 66 in the second round, essentially blowing away everyone in the field except Charley Hoffman. He was four strokes behind and still on the course, turning in the sort of performance that would normally be good enough for the lead.

Not the way Spieth was playing. He had 15 birdies and only one bogey through the first two days.

"It's special to be in the tournament," he said, "let alone out front."

Spieth said his biggest obstacle the next two days will be scoreboard watching.

He said he just needs "to keep my head down, just need to set a goal for myself. Obviously Charley's playing great, and we may be pretty close up there, and who knows what can happen on the weekend here.

Yep...Phil is coming on but Woods is back to -6 and showing his temper when his shot isn’t to his liking.

Hopefully Spieth hangs in there.

I didn’t expect Tiger to make the cut, so he has far exceeded my expectations.

I can’t believe he’s where he’s at with the trouble he’s having hitting the fairway off the tee today, other than that he’s playing pretty well.

Shaping up to be a fantastic final round with Mickelson taking aim at Spieth.

Phil’s been my fav for many, many moons - good guy and, like me, is right handed but plays left handed.

Spieth is another good guy, too...but I’d love to see Phil win another at 44 for us well seasoned fans.

I was really hoping Spieth and Michelson would play together tomorrow, not to be.

A good recovery after the 17th.

My fear is that Spieth's trend is has been going the wrong way: 64, 66 and today's 70. Rose and Mickelson might be able to catch him tomorrow.

I hope Spieth’s 18th got his determination up for tomorrow. You’re right, either Mickelson or Rose are quite capable of a great round to win it.

I don’t mind Spieth winning but I was hoping Rose could get close to make it interesting. Spieth just put in the woods so it still might be fun.

At the risk of being crude, we’re looking at a guy that has the world by the balls.
