The 17-year-old amateur was at 3 under in the PGA Tour event after a 2-under 68 in the second round Friday.
Jordan Spieth is going to be late for his high school graduation ceremony Saturday, if he makes it at all. For the second year in a row, he made the cut at the Byron Nelson Championship.
The ceremony for Jesuit Prep-Dallas' graduating class of 246 starts at 4 p.m. Saturday on the SMU campus, about 20 miles from TPC Four Seasons where the PGA tour is being held.
"Right after the PGA tour round …. I'm going to shoot over there as quickly as possible," Spieth said. "I don't know how long (graduation) usually lasts."
Since diplomas are handed out in alphabetical order, Spieth, figures that will at least buy him some extra time after the PGA tour performance.
"Exactly," he said, smiling. "Should be at least an hour into it, be toward the end."
After tying for 16th at the Nelson last year, the future Texas Longhorn received a sponsor's exemption again this week.
