Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth are one shot clear at the top of the leaderboard at the end of day two at the US Open.

American duo Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth are joint-top of the US Open on five-under-par after day two at Chambers Bay.

Spieth made the early move as he struck a round of 67 to progress up the leaderboard, on a day where several players went backwards.

Reed, who started the day in third place on four-under-par, had a mixed round of 69 as he hit five birdies, six bogeys and an eagle.

The 24-year-old looked set to be the overnight leader, but he bogeyed the last hole.

Dustin Johnson, who was the co-leader after day one, and South Africa's Brandon Grace sit one shot back on four-under-par, while Joost Luiten leads the European charge on three-under.

World number one Rory McIlroy endured another frustrating day as he hit a round of 72 and sits on four-over-par, while Tiger Woods bowed out of the tournament as he failed to make the cut following a round of 76.

England's Paul Casey and Scotland's Marc Warren lead the British charge on one-over-par.
