Spieth has 1-shot lead on McIlroy at Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Jordan Spieth set a Masters record on Friday by leading the tournament for the sixth straight round.

He sure didn't seem to be in a mood to celebrate.

Spieth led by as many as five shots after a fast start, and then, just like everyone else on this wickedly windy day, he had to hang on for dear life. Spieth holed a 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 2-over 74 that gave him a one-shot lead over Rory McIlroy.

"I'm still in the lead. I couldn't ask for much better than leading," Spieth said.
