Two golfers are tied at 10-under par as the 2nd round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship comes to a close. However, the day was stolen by 16 year old Dallas native Jordan Spieth. Jordan put together rounds of 68-69 to finish 3-under par and in a tie for 22nd place and in doing so, had the largest galleries of the day.
I had a chance to watch a decent amount of his round today. He can really play. You don't get to #1 in anything without being really good at what you do. Jordan is the #1 Junior golfer in the United States and he's really good at what he does. To me, he does two things that separate him from all other juniors and probably amateurs. Number one, he gets the most out of his round as anyone I've seen in a long time. And number 2, he never has a bad tournament. He's always in the mix, whether it's a top junior or amateur event and now a PGA TOUR event.
What happens over the week-end is icing on the cake. Jordan became the 6th youngest amateur to make a cut in a tour event. The kid can really play!!
