With blustery conditions dictating play on Friday Jordan Spieth holds a 2 stroke lead over Rory McIlroy who currently stands at -3 under par. Only ten players are under par for the tournament thus far. Jason Day's game has stalled an now is T19 at +1 over par for the event with play in-progress.Spieth capped off the only bogey-free round in the wicked wind at
Augusta National by making a 15-foot par putt on the 16th hole and
hitting an 8-iron into 6 feet for birdie on the final hole for a 6-under
66 and a two-shot lead, the first step in his bid to win another Green
Jacket. Jason Day couldn't keep pace. On the verge of tying for the lead late
in the round Thursday, Day dropped five shots in three holes and had to
settle for a 72. Rory McIlroy pulled to within two shots of the lead
until he made two bogeys over the last three holes.When a day of big wind, big numbers and far too many putts for Ernie
Els was finally over, it felt as though nothing had changed from last
year. Can the young Spieth hold onto his lead heading into the weekend? Let us know your predictions here at the Pro Golf Channel: http://progolftournaments.blogspot.com/
