CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Throughout the blustery afternoon at Quail Hollow in Friday’s second round of the Wells Fargo Championship, the projected cut hovered around 1 over.
As evening approached, the cut started to go back and forth between +1 and +2.
And then +2 and +3.
At day’s end, it landed on +2.
That meant some big names heading home, including world No. 3 Jon Rahm, who had made a PGA Tour-leading 22 consecutive cuts. The new leader is Joaquin Niemann with 18. Also among those missing the weekend are Masters runner-up Will Zalatoris, Patrick Cantlay, Tony Finau, defending champion Max Homa and Rickie Fowler.
Making the cut on the number were reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and reigning Open champion Shane Lowry.
Seventy-seven players made the cut. Here are the notables who didn’t:
