Kansan Gary Woodland finds himself on the leaderboard at the British Open. 

After two rounds the Topeka native is at one under par and in a tie for sixth place.  

Jordan Spieth finished off a windy and wet second round of the British Open with a 1-under 69 to take the lead.

   This is the fourth time the 23-year-old Texan has at least a share of the 36-hole lead in a major. He won the Masters and U.S. Open in 2015 and had control of the 2016 Masters until his infamous triple bogey on the 12th hole at Augusta National.

   Spieth seized control of the lead with birdies on the 11th and 12th hole. He was on his way to a bigger lead with a 3-wood that rolled 100 yards onto the green to about 15 feet. But he missed a short par putt on the 16th.

   Spieth was at 4-under 136. Matt Kuchar was two shots behind.
