Tom Lewis and Paul Casey were well in contention after the second round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, as leader Jordan Spieth moved closer to ending his long winless run .

Tied for sixth after the first round 66, Lewis shot a three-under 69 to be in a trio of players sharing fourth place at nine-under, along with Casey, who shot a 67.

They were three shots behind second round leader Spieth, who carded a five-under 67 at Spyglass Hill to follow his first round 65 to be 12 under for the tournament.

Spieth — searching for his first win since the 2017 British Open at Royal Birkdale — was a shot ahead of fellow American Daniel Berger after his rounds of 67-66, with Sweden’s Henrik Norlander alone in third place a further stroke away after a 70.

Séamus Power’s week is over however - consecutive rounds of 72 saw him miss the cut by a stroke.

The 43-year-old Casey birdied his first two for the day, gave a shot back at the fifth, then made two more birdies in a four-under front nine. He was solid coming home, with birdies on the 11th and 18th alongside seven pars.

Scotland’s Russell Knox was on eight under after a 70, England’s Ben Taylor was on four under after an even 72, while his countryman Luke Donald missed the cut.

Spieth opened with a bogey-free two-under 34, then thundered home with four birdies in his last six holes.
