Cognizant Classic: Big Names Tumble Out!
28 Feb
Summary
- Several high-profile golfers failed to make the cut.
- The cutline was set at even par for the tournament.
- Chris Kirk, Matt Kuchar, and Adam Hadwin were among those who missed.
The Cognizant Classic, a regular PGA Tour event, has reached a pivotal stage as the field was narrowed down after the second round on Friday. A total of 123 players began the tournament, but only those who finished at or above the even-par cutline secured their spots for the weekend's play.
Several prominent golfers were unable to meet this challenging benchmark. Among the notable names to miss the cut were Chris Kirk, who struggled with consistency, and Matt Kuchar, who maintained a 2-over score across his rounds. Sam Ryder also narrowly missed the cut by one stroke with a score of 1 over par.
Further down the list of surprising exits were Luke Clanton and Adam Hadwin. Clanton experienced a difficult second round, while Hadwin, despite a decent start, faltered on Friday. Their departures highlight the competitive nature of the event, where even established players face significant hurdles to advance.
