Jordan Spieth used a back-nine surge that featured four straight birdies to give himself a chance to survive the cut in the 2018 U.S. Open.
Spieth shot a one-over 71 in Friday's second round at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York.
The 2015 tournament champion stands at nine-over in the season's second major, which leaves him one shot below the projected cut and 13 strokes off the lead pace of Dustin Johnson. He'd made just three birdies over his first 30 holes before the sudden charge that was partially offset by closing back-to-back bogeys.
