WM Phoenix Open: Viktor Hovland’s double splash leads list of players who missed the cut

Hovland had not missed a cut in his previous five starts during this season.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — With the chaos that accompanies Saturday at the WM Phoenix Open, it’s often easy to make up lost ground. Just getting to the weekend puts a player in contention.

So while Sahith Theegala ran out to a lead during the second round at TPC Scottsdale and others like Patrick Cantlay kept humming along, there’s plenty of golf to be played at a tournament known for seeing wild swings in the third and final rounds.

Leading the list of those who missed the cut on Friday was World No. 3 Viktor Hovland, who looked like he might just squeeze in late Friday, but then he knocked two consecutive shots in the water. Hovland had not missed a cut in his previous five starts during this PGA season and already has a pair of victories — winning the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba and the Hero World Challenge. He also captured the title at the DP World Tour’s Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic just two weeks ago.

The cutline is the top 65 players plus those tied at the end of that group, and the number settled early at 2 under. Here’s a look at the biggest names who didn’t make it to the weekend.

Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau highlight notable PGA Tour players to miss 2022 Farmers Insurance Open cut

These PGA Tour stars won’t be playing the weekend at Torrey Pines.

SAN DIEGO – It’s not easy leaving this seaside paradise overlooking the Pacific.

But despite perfect scoring conditions for two days – light winds, sunlit skies and the ground a tad on the soft side – some of the PGA Tour’s biggest names said adios to Torrey Pines and its top-notch lodging and golf courses on Thursday.

With the cut coming in at -3, that meant the likes of hometown favorite Phil Mickelson, four-time major winner Brooks Koepka, three-time major champion Jordan Spieth and master blaster Bryson DeChambeau missing the cut.

The much tougher South Course got the better of those who won’t play the final two rounds. The South played nearly 4.5 strokes easier than the North Course.

Here are the notables who headed home.

Young stars Scottie Scheffler, Will Zalatoris among notables to miss the cut at Shriners Children’s Open

While Sungjae Im and Chad Ramey lead the field of 73 players into the weekend at 14 under, several players didn’t advance.

LAS VEGAS – While the skies were dismal early on Friday, the scoring continued to sizzle at TPC Summerlin in the Shriners Children’s Open.

That didn’t bode well for those who got off to a poor start in the first round.

Through annoying morning sprinkles and spots of steady rain amid cool temperatures, and with the course nearly defenseless with the lack of wind, par was battered again in the second round. Even when the skies cleared and the wind picked up in the afternoon, players got the better of TPC Summerlin.

And that meant the cutline falling at 5 under in the third tournament of the season.

While Sungjae Im and Chad Ramey lead the field of 73 players into the weekend at 14 under as the top 65 players and ties advanced, here are some notables who won’t have Saturday or Sunday tee times.

British Open: Notables who missed the cut at Royal St. George’s

Not everyone took advantage of the delightful conditions the first two days of the British Open and will be leaving without a tee time on the weekend.

Not everyone took advantage of the delightful conditions the first two days of the 149th British Open and will be leaving Royal St. George’s without a tee time on the weekend.

While the days were bright in Sandwich, England, and with the layout on the soft side and the breezes far from menacing for most of the first two rounds, Louis Oosthuizen led a barrage of red numbers as he’s shot 64-65 to get to 11 under and two shots clear of the field. In all, 52 of the original 156 players are under par; another 35 made it to the third round.

But plenty of players couldn’t overcome the lurking dangers of Royal St. George’s, including the sloping greens, the humpy, bumpy fairways, an assortment of pot bunkers and lush, thick fescue and rough. The cut came at 1-over 141 – the lowest in the championship’s history since 1898. The previous low was 143, which occurred nine times, the most recent being in 2019 at Royal Portrush.

Here are some notables heading home.

U.S. Open 2021: Notables who missed the cut at Torrey Pines

Only the low 60 players and ties earn weekend tee times at America’s national championship.

SAN DIEGO — Qualifying for the U.S. Open is a great achievement. Once you are there, making the cut and playing in the final two rounds is another hurdle that needs to be cleared. Only the low 60 players and ties earn Saturday and Sunday tee times at America’s national championship, which means after the second round, it’s ‘Wait ’til next year’ for more than half the 156-man field.

This year, the cutline was 4 over (146).

Among the trunk slammers, there are always a few surprising names, golfers who have achieved great things but for some reason, could not deliver. Below is a list of the notable players at the 121st U.S. Open at Torrey Pines who will not be moving on.

Jon Rahm sees end to PGA Tour-leading cuts made streak at Wells Fargo Championship

After Friday’s second round of the Wells Fargo Championship, the cut it landed on +2, and that meant some big names heading home.

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:

Valspar Championship: Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed among the notables who missed the cut

The top two players in the world made the cut at the Valspar. Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed and others will be home for the weekend.

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – The top two players in the world, Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas, are among those on the right side of the cutline at the Valspar Championship, but with a lot of catching up to do on the weekend.

For Phil Mickelson and Patrick Reed and others, they’ll be home for the weekend.

Mickelson missed his sixth cut in 13 starts this season, but not without a fight. After shooting 2-over 73 on Thursday he made bogey at No. 4 before making back-to-back birdies at Nos. 5 and 6 and a string of three birdies in a row beginning at No. 11. But the Snake Pit, the three-hole stretch at the Copperhead Course comprising of Nos. 16-18, bit back. Bogeys at 16 and 18 had Mickelson signing for 2-under 69 and one stroke too many to play the weekend.
