Scottie Scheffler on extremely difficult pin locations at PGA Championship
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. – Several notable Europeans will have to wait at least another month for a chance to win their first major championship.
Tommy Fleetwood and Viktor Hovland highlighted the big names to miss the cut at Aronimink Golf Club. Fleetwood was 5 over through two rounds; Hovland was 6 over. The cut settled at 4-over.
A difficult, windy morning at Aronimink caused scores to balloon and the cutline to inch higher and higher up the board. J.J. Spaun shot 6 over after an even-par opening round. Michael Block, the PGA professional turned cult figure, shot 5 over after he notably sho even-par on Thursday.
Fleetwood’s struggles were the most surprising. He entered in good form after a T5 last week at the Truist Championship. The No. 6 golfer in the world started on the back nine and took a hit early, making double bogey on the par-3 14th. He made bogeys at the 18th and sixth holes, with his lone birdie coming on his final hole of the day, the par-5 ninth. It’s projected to be just the second missed cut at a PGA Championship in Fleetwood’s last 10 starts.
He’s not alone. Hovland’s middling season continues. This will be his first missed cut in seven PGA Championship starts. He has only one top-10 this season.
Bryson DeChambeau was the most notable player from the afternoon wave to be sent packing. DeChambeau shot 7-over, though got as high as 10-over before a few late bogeys. He's now missed the cut in three of his last four majors.
There were several heroic moments that kept players in the field for the weekend. Justin Rose chipped in for eagle at the par-5 ninth to get on the right side of the cutline and Michael Kim holed a lengthy eagle putt to do the same.
Other notables that missed the cut include: Robert MacIntyre (5-over), Russell Henley (5-over), Akshay Bhatia (5-over), Block (5-over), Keegan Bradley (6-over), Tyrrell Hatton (6-over), Adam Scott (8-over) and Max Homa (12-over).
