ORLANDO, Fla. – On Bay Hill’s sun-splashed stage, the curtain was drawn on some of the game’s biggest names after Friday’s second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
While Corey Conners set the pace at 9 under following his 3-under-par 69, among those missing the cut of 2 over were major champions Patrick Reed, Henrik Stenson and Shane Lowly.
Other major winners heading home were Francesco Molinari, who won Arnie’s annual bash in 2019, Graeme McDowell and Charl Schwartzel.
Seventy-three players made the cut and the tournament still boasts stars in contention, including Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Bryson DeChambeau, Paul Casey, Justin Rose and Jordan Spieth.
But here are players getting an extra two days of rest before next weeks Players Championship, the PGA Tour flagship event.
