High school student Jordan Spieth is sticking around to play the weekend at the Byron Nelson Championship, becoming the sixth-youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event.
Spieth tapped in a par putt to loud cheers for a 3-under 137 through two rounds of his first-ever tournament against the pros.
On Friday, Spieth finished his suspended opening round with a 68, then after only a brief rest shot 69 in the second round.
Spieth is 16 years, nine months and 24 days. He's also the second 16-year-old to make a cut this season, joining Italy's Matteo Manassero at the Masters.
Manassero also has the best-ever finish by someone this young, having tied for 13th at the 2009 British Open.
Spieth is the reigning U.S. Junior Amateur Champion.
