The second round of the 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open concluded with Tony Finau firing a low 62 to take a 36-hole single-stroke lead. Argentine Alejandro Tosti was two strokes back at 7-under after a 3-under 67. Thomas Detry also shot a low 64 to aggregate at 6-under after two rounds.
While many players did well over the two days at Memorial Park, there were a few disappointments too. The likes of Padraig Harrington and Jason Day bowed out early after falling below the cutline, which was set at 1-over.
Here's a look at five names who fell short of making it to the weekend of the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open
Five top names who failed to make the cut at the 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open
1) Padraig Harrington
Harrington couldn't emulate his last week's PGA Tour Champions win at Memorial Park, as he failed to make the cut after shooting a 4-over 74 on Friday. He had carded an even-par 70 in the opening round.
2) Jason Day
Like Harrington, Day also started with a 70 at Memorial Park. He posted a 2-over 72 and missed the cut by a stroke. Before this week, he had missed just one cut and had three top-10s.
3) Keith Mitchell
Mitchell shot a back-to-back 71 at the 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open to miss the cut by two strokes.
This was Mitchell's second missed cut of the season, where he has posted two top-10s. Last week, he finished T17 at the Valspar Championship after having a 54-hole lead.
4) Doug Ghim
Ghim missed his first cut in seven weeks after shooting 71 and 72 at Memorial Park.
Before this week, Ghim had made six back-to-back cuts and registered a top-20 finish in five of them. This is his third missed cut of the season.
5) Jake Knapp
Jake Knapp shot 74 on Thursday. The 71 in the second round meant that he didn't make the cut at Memorial Park. This was his second missed cut of his rookie season, having registered a win.
