Spieth 18-for-18 inside 12 feet in 2nd round

Jordan Spieth assumed sole possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead at the TOUR Championship following a 3-under-par 34-33=67 in his second round.

Of course he's leading the tournament. He's only the youngest ever to compete in it. Spieth hit 12 greens in regulation and squared two bogeys, but he holed five birdies, all inside 10 feet. In fact, all 18 of his conversions sat inside that range; he didn't miss from inside 12 feet. He walked off East Lake today with a strokes gained-putting split north of 2.300 for the round and ranked second through two rounds at just under 1.650.

Patrick Reed among notable MCs at Travelers

World No. 11 Patrick Reed, a pre-tourney 16/1 outright, rebounded for a 3-under-par 32-35=67 in the second round of the Travelers Championship but at 1-under 72-67=139, missed the cut by one shot.

A total of 74 players from a field of 156 made the cut of 2-under 138, 22 (T53) on the number. This is Reed's third missed cut at the Travelers in seven tries, first since 2015. It's his fifth MC of the season in 19 starts, first since the Honda 10 individual starts ago, and was tied fifth on TOUR in consecutive cuts made entering the week. The reigning Masters champ, who checked in off a solo 4th at the U.S. Open, ranked T1 in eagles for the short week with two, but T146 in birdies with just three. He was 80th in SG: Off-the-Tee (0.095) and 106th in SG: Putting at (-0.951). Other notable early exits include: 139- Brendan Steele; Luke List; Chez Reavie .. 140- Billy Horschel; Xander Schauffele; Ryan Moore .. 141- 2012 champ Marc Leishman; Chesson Hadley; C.T.

Henley pelts all 18 GIR in R2; bogey-free 65

World No. 55 Russell Henley smoothed a bogey-free, 5-under-par 32-33=65 in the second round of the Travelers Championship for a 36-hole tally of 9-under 131, up seven places into a three-way T2, one back of leader and fellow Georgia Bulldog Brian Harman. UPDATE: Henley will play out of the penultimate twosome in R3 with Zach Johnson.

This is the 29-year-old's second appearance after T11 in 2016, where he was a 36-hole co-leader (68-65-65-73). He checked in this week off a T25 at the U.S. Open, his second straight top 25 in a major, and a T29 at the Memorial. The South Carolina resident opened with a five-birdie, one-bogey 66 on 16 greens in regulation, and hit all 18 greens on Day 2, the second time he's accomplished that in 148 career events. The last time was at the 2013 Sony in his third career start and pro debut, also in R2, and went on to win by three. Henley gained 3.622 on approach today and is No. 1 in that stat (5.598) as well as GIR at 94.44 percent (34/36). He carded five birdies at holes 1, 3, 4, 10 and 13, two from between 13 and 20 feet, posting 1.778 putts per GIR and 0.939 SG: Putting with 32 total putts.

Zach Johnson dips to T2 after bogey-free 68

Overnight co-leader and World No. 54 Zach Johnson fashioned a bogey-free, 2-under-par 34-34=68 in the second round of the Travelers Championship, dipping one spot into a three-way T2 on 9-under 131, one short of leader Brian Harman. UPDATE: Johnson will play out of the penultimate twosome in R3 with Russell Henley.

The 42-year-old hit 10 (of 14) fairways and 11 greens in regulation, losing 1.088 strokes off-the-tee and 0.443 tee-to-green. He carded two birdies at holes 9 and 13 from 23'2" and 9'0", respectively. The Drake alum nearly had a third birdie at the par-4 third, with his putt from 18'4" coming to rest on the back lip and Johnson taking too long (16 seconds) waiting to see if it would drop. The ball eventually did drop on it's own, but since it took longer than 10 seconds, he had to add one to his score. The Iowa native recorded 1.818 putts per GIR and 2.409 SG: Putting with 27 total putts. His was one of just five bogey-free laps in R2, and he has just one blemish thru 36 holes.

Matt Jones T2; one back after second-round 66

World No. 304 Matt Jones styled a 4-under-par 31-35=66 in the second round of the Travelers Championship for a 36-hole tally of 9-under 131, up four spots to T2, one back of leader Brian Harman. UPDATE: Jones will play out of the final twosome in R3 with Harman.

The 38-year-old landed nine (of 14) fairways and 16 greens in regulation, gaining 1.216 strokes approaching and 3.145 tee-to-green. He squared a lone bogey-4 at 16, his first blemish on the week, outpaced by five birdies at 2, 3, 6, 7 and 10. The ASU alum's split included three conversions from between 14 and 23 feet, recording 1.688 putts per GIR and 0.737 SG: Putting with 30 total putts. This is his highest position thru 36 holes since leading the 2015 PGA Championship, eventually finishing T21 (68-65-73-75).

He mustered six (of 14) fairways but hit 15 greens in regulation, losing 0.567 strokes off-the-tee but gaining 2.081 on approach and 1.011 around-the-green. The California native, who grew up in Blacksburg, Virginia, recorded a tidy 1.467 putts per GIR and 3.977 SG: Putting with 26 total putts. His split featured two in the 12-to-13 foot range and also saved par at 5 from 22'0". The 30-year-old, who arrived off a missed cut at the U.S. Open in his major debut, bettered his career low (in 52 rounds) by one, previously 64 at the 2018 CareerBuilder/R2.

The 29-year-old hit nine (of 14) fairways and 14 greens in regulation, losing strokes on approach and around-the-green, but gaining 1.510 off-the-tee.

UPDATE: With R2 completed Watson's 63 was matched by Lanto Griffin, and he's T8, still trailing Harman.

Beginning off No. 10 tee, the 39-year-old tied the low round of the week thus far after landing nine (of 14) fairways and 16 greens in regulation. He gained 1.285 strokes off-the-tee and 2.731 approaching-the-green.
