New Zealand's Danny Lee birdied the last hole for a six-under 64 and a share of the second-round lead Friday in the Dean & Deluca Invitational.

Lee is tied with Americans Webb Simpson, Kevin Kisner and Scott Piercy.

Marc Leishman and Curtis Luck are the best-placed Australians at one-over par after rounds of 72 and 73 respectively.

Kisner also had a birdie on his final hole, the ninth, for a second straight 67.

Simpson, the 2012 US Open champion, and Piercy each shot 66 to join the group at six-under 134.

Masters champion Sergio Garcia (66) and fellow Spaniard Jon Rahm (69), who played in the same group, are at five-under along with England's Paul Casey (66) and Sean O'Hair (68).

Defending champion Jordan Spieth (68) recovered from a bad start to avoid the danger of missing the cut for the third straight event and second straight week in a hometown event for the Dallas native.

He was five under over his final 13 holes to finish at two under.
