SAN ANTONIO — The winds were fierce on TPC San Antonio’s Oaks Course on Friday, keeping scores and tension high.
A number of the headliners from the Valero Texas Open were fighting to make the cut from the beginning, including Rory McIlroy, who said came to the Valero Texas Open for the first time in 2013 — when he finished second to Martin Laird — in an attempt to change up his preparation for Augusta National.
McIlroy was scrambling from the get-go, posting six bogeys in his opening round and then struggling his way to a 37 on the front during Friday’s second round.
The cutline is the top 65 players plus those tied at the end of that group, and the number settled early at 1 under. Here’s a look at the biggest names who didn’t make it to the weekend.
