Sylvis (United States) (AFP) - Reigning Masters and US Open champion Jordan Spieth ratcheted up his preparation for next week's British Open by firing a seven-under 64 in Friday's second round of the PGA John Deere Classic.

The world number two found 10 of 14 fairways and reached 13 of 18 greens in regulation in making six birdies and an eagle against a lone bogey to move into contention after an opening 71 at the event he won in 2013 to secure a place on the PGA Tour.
