Top Golfers Shocked by Rocket Classic Cut
1 Aug
Summary
- World No. 7 Chris Gotterup and No. 9 Wyndham Clark missed the cut.
- The course renovations at Detroit Golf Club made for a tougher cut line.
- Former champions also failed to advance to the weekend's play.
The 2026 Rocket Classic saw a challenging second round, with the cut line set at 3 under par after play concluded on Friday, July 31. This proved to be a much tougher standard than the previous year's 6 under par, largely attributed to recent renovations at the Detroit Golf Club.
Several high-profile golfers did not make the weekend's play. World No. 7 Chris Gotterup finished at 1-over, missing the cut after shooting a 3-over 73 in the second round. World No. 9 Wyndham Clark also struggled, failing to advance after rounds of 1-over and 4-over.
Additional notable players who missed the cut include former champions Aldrich Potgieter (2025 winner) and Davis (champion in 2021 and 2024), both finishing at 3-over. Local golfers Joe Hooks and Patrick Wilkes-Krier, along with social media personality Brad Dalke, also failed to make the weekend rounds.
