BETHESDA, MD. (AP) - Jordan Spieth is playing with nothing to lose and giving himself another chance to win.
Spieth played bogey-free in tame conditions Friday at Congressional for a 5-under 66 that gave him a share of the lead with Roberto Castro among the early starters in the second round of the AT&T National. Castro had a 69.
