PGA Tour Rookie Patrick Reed birdied his final two holes to top a youthful looking leader board at the halfway stage of the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina.

Reed, 23, fired a six-under-par 64 to go 11 under overall and lead John Huh, also 23, by a single stroke.

Reed was on fire with putter in hand and was thankful for some favourable green conditions.

“The greens are perfect,” Reed told pgatour.com. “They’re very true. They’re firm and extremely fast – everything that I like.

“I grew up on fast greens. To be able to putt on really fast greens like this, it’s a treat.”

Huh had a day to remember, carding eight birdies in a blemish-free 62, a round which left him one clear of another youngster – 20-year-old Jordan Spieth.

Spieth was impressive for the second day running, carding a four-under 66 – a notable turnaround after he missed the cut at the US PGA.
