Day 2 Storylines to Watch

Jordan Spieth's Run at History

Jordan Spieth has had a pretty good week. On Sunday, he hit this shot on No. 18 to force a playoff at the John Deere Classic:

Then, he won the playoff, becoming the first teenager to win on the PGA Tour since 1931, qualifying for the Open Championship and earning his tour card in the process. 

Most would accept that as a pretty productive...I don't know...year, but Spieth is already back looking for more success. 

On Thursday, he dropped in three birdies and one bogey, putting him in a tie with some guys you might have heard of—Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson—in ninth place heading into Day 2.

By the way, the last teenager to win a major was Johnny McDermott in 1911.  

Rory McIlroy's Run at...Not Being a Complete Disappointment

While Spieth has enjoyed an immense streak of success, Rory McIlroy has enjoyed an immense streak of being mediocre. 

McIlroy finished off his 2012 in style, winning the PGA Championship—his second career major—at Kiawah Island, regaining the world No. 1 ranking and setting up some gargantuan expectations for 2013. 

So far, he has fallen extremely short of those expectations. 

Coming into the U.S. Open, he had zero wins in 10 tournaments, including 57th- and 41st-place finishes in his last two. 

But on Thursday, he set a new low for what was an already disappointing season. 

McIlroy shot an eight-over 79—which included a god-awful 42 on the back nine that saw him hit four bogeys and two double bogeys—and now sits in a tie for a 134th place. His putting was, well, Tim Keeney-like, per Yahoo! Sports' Pat Forde:

He's going to need some serious magic on Friday if he wants to avoid his fourth major cut since 2010.
