Spieth Takes Share Of Early Lead At Congressional

Texas teenager Jordan Spieth has a share of the lead at the AT&T National.

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - Texas teenager Jordan Spieth has a share of the lead at the AT&T National.

The 19-year-old hit every green in regulation Friday and extended his streak to 29 holes without a bogey on a tough Congressional course, giving him a 5-under 66 and a share of the lead with Roberto Castro before storms halted the second round.

They are at 7-under 135 with the round to be completed Saturday morning.

Spieth started the season with no status, uncertain where he was going to play. He now has earned over $900,000. That's the equivalent of being No. 39 on the PGA Tour money list and assures him of a tour card when the new season starts in October. But he won't be eligible for the lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs unless he's a PGA Tour member and he can't be a member this year unless he wins.
