Jordan Spieth plays hopscotch with World Number One spot
+ Video Round 2 wrap up
Jordan Spieth's reign at the top of the World Rankings came to an abrupt end last night when he missed the cut in the Barclays at Plainfield. The Texan, 22, followed his four-over-par first-round 74 with an 73 to finish five strokes the wrong side of dignity.
Bloody world rankings... bloody McIlroy sitting at home laughing... bloody golf... bloody hell I've got the wekend off, yesss!!!!!
Spieth is the first player to miss the cut in his first start after becoming world number one.
"I'm definitely searching for answers," said Spieth. "I don't know exactly what I'm going to do from here as far as how I get prepared for next week [the Deutsche Bank Championship] but I have some time to figure it out.
"I've reached that peak already and I know it's going to be close enough to where if I just get the job done next week, I'll be back in that ranking. But again, that ranking, it's great once you reach it but it's not something that I'm going to live or die on each week. It doesn't really make much of a difference."
Steward: "Guys!! No more jokes about Rory not even being here, Jordan's a bit upset..."
Bubba Watson, who scored a 68 after opening with a 65, is the current leader. Open champion Zach Johnson made five birdies as he carded a 65. The American sits one shot off the lead, alongside Henrik Stenson (66), Tony Finau (69) and Jason Dufner (68).
