Spieth was making a move in the second round.

The two guys with green jackets shot even par. The guy trying to get through Web.com Tour Q-School shot 5 under. Here's how things stand after one round of the Australian Open, where Lincoln Tighe holds a one-shot lead over Matthew Jones in Sydney.

Leaderboard: Lincoln Tighe (-5), Matthew Jones (-4), Geoff Ogilvy (-3), Chun-Am Yu-a (-3), Neven Basic (-3)

What it means: Scoring was kept largely in check on the par-71 The Australian Golf Club course by 25-mph winds, meaning even-par rounds, such as those shot by Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott, are still very much in the mix. "I'm still in this golf tournament," Spieth said.

Round of the day: Tighe's 5-under 66 featured seven birdies and two bogeys. It was fueled by the 26-year-old's long driving. "I hit my driver really good and I was in good positions all day," he said.

Matt Jones leading by 3 at 7 under after the second round. Its good to see Matt Jones up there after his good showing at the US Open earlier in the year.

What a comeback by Spieth last night. +3 after 4 holes and he was back to even, I started channel surfing. Came back an hour later and he has climbed back to -2. To shoot 67 after that opening was crazy, he was -7 over the last 14 holes. 

Tee to green he is not playing very well, but i guess the conditions have a lot to do with that. There aren't many under par, but he has missed alot of greens. To still be in a position to win is pretty impressive.

JC on a cracker. How would the shot have gone if Spieth actually liked it? There's a wisp of a hair between a good and bad shot for these guys.

I wonder why Jason Day chose not to play this tournament ?

That landed a bit close to the water, maybe he thought it was in the water.

Very true, very close to going to the water.

6 yo Matt Jones meets The Shark. Is that Steve Williams w/the porn stache?
