Jordan Spieth enjoyed another sensational day at the Masters as he fired a six-under-par 66 to take a five-shot lead into the weekend.
The 21-year-old closed his second round on 14 under, a new record score after 36 holes, with world number one Rory McIlroy in a tie for 19th on two under after flirting with missing the cut before shooting a 71.
Only Spieth's fellow American Charley Hoffman, who bogeyed the last for a 68 to finish on nine under, was initially able to cling on to his heels.
But England's Justin Rose (70) and Paul Casey (68) made charges late on a sticky afternoon to share a tie for third on seven under with Dustin Johnson, who had a Masters record three eagles in his 67, and will hope to pressure the callow leader over the weekend.
Three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson produced a series of remarkable escapes from off the fairways to battle to a four-under 68 and six under total, while four-time winner Tiger Woods finished two under after picking up three shots in his round of 69.
