FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (Reuters) - Jordan Spieth, who is chasing a career grand slam, surged into contention at the PGA Championship on Friday, grabbing the clubhouse lead during the second round. He took only 23 putts, coaxing the ball into the hole with precision to card a four-under-par 66. "I feel like I have good control of the club, good timing, good rhythm and it was nice to roll in a few putts," Spieth said after posting a five-under 135 halfway total. "I made a few good par-saving putts and took advantage of the easy holes," Spieth added. Spieth began his day at the 10th hole and a 12-foot birdie at his second hole set the tone on a difficult stretch of the course.
