Top quote - Jordan Spieth
"That would've been really, really tough for me to swallow if I missed this cut," Spieth told the Golf Channel after he shot 5-under par over the final 13 holes Friday to prevent another missed cut.
Best round - Danny Lee (64)
Lee made two birdies on the front nine Friday at Colonial, then threw down five birdies and a bogey on the back side to shoot the day's lowest round of 64. The Aussie's round vaulted him into a three-way tie for the lead after 36 holes.

The Englishman chose to hit just two drivers Friday at Colonial, which turned out to be a great decision, shooting a 4-under-par 66.
Saturday's storyline
- Spieth clearly found something midway through his round Friday, and is within four strokes of the 36-hole leaders.
- Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm played well together the first two rounds, and both sit in a tie for fifth at 5-under par for the tournament.
