Rookie Curran in Tie for Lead at Weather-Hit Byron Nelson

(Reuters) - PGA Tour rookie Jon Curran capitalized on a fast start and some pinpoint iron shots to surge into a three-way tie for the lead in the weather-disrupted second round of the AT&T Byron Nelson in Irving, Texas on Friday.

While Masters champion Jordan Spieth also charged into contention after struggling on the greens in his opening round, Curran set the early pace by firing a six-under-par 63 at the rain-saturated TPC Four Seasons Resort Las Colinas.

"I got off to a pretty good start, hit some really close iron shots and I made some good 10 or 15-foot putts for birdie," Curran told reporters.
