Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau among many big names to miss the cut at Houston Open

Unfortunately for patrons, many of the recognizable names struggled.

HOUSTON — Although there wasn’t a top-10 member of the Official World Golf Ranking on hand for the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Houston Open,  a number of prominent players were in the field as the tournament made its second appearance at the revamped Memorial Park Golf Course.

Unfortunately for patrons, many of the recognizable names struggled and were forced out after the second round of action, which wrapped up Saturday morning. Instead, the improbable duo of Martin Trainer and Kevin Tway were the leaders at the tournament’s midpoint, while others were sent packing.

Here’s a look at some of the players who weren’t around for the final two rounds of action, and what happened along the way.
