Scottie Scheffler carded a 4-under 68 on Friday, June 7, to take the 36-hole lead at the 2024 Memorial Tournament. After the second round, he stands at 9-under with a three-stroke lead over Adam Hadwin and Viktor Hovland.
The conditions at Muirfield Village Golf Club were tricky on Friday, with wind hindering the players' flow. The cutline was set at 4-over after two rounds, and many top names failed to make it to the weekend.
In this article, we will look at five names who missed the cut at the Memorial Tournament.
5 top players who missed the cut at the 2024 Memorial Tournament
1) Wyndham Clark
Trending
Wyndham Clark started the week with a 5-over 77 and failed one stroke short of the cutline after shooting 72 on Friday. With three missed cuts in his last five starts, his preparation doesn't look great ahead of the title defense at the US Open.
2) Jordan Spieth
Jordan Spieth carded 74 and 75 in two rounds at the Memorial Tournament to miss the cut by one stroke. This is his second missed cut here in 12 starts. He has now missed five cuts in 15 starts this year.
3) Patrick Cantlay
Patrick Cantlay has won two times at the Memorial Tournament, but this time he couldn't make it to the weekend. He carded a 3-over 75 on Thursday and needed a good second round to get inside the cutline. However, he shot 4-over 76 to miss his first cut of the PGA Tour 2024 season by three shots.
4) Ben Griffin
Last week, Griffin was in contention for the RBC Canadian Cup, which he lost by just one stroke. However, this week was a forgettable one for him.
Griffin carded 76 and 73 to miss the cut at Muirfield by one stroke. He has now missed six cuts this season
5) Rickie Fowler
It wouldn't be wrong to say that this week was a nightmare for Rickie Fowler. He finished at the bottom of the leaderboard after shooting 76 and 82 over two days at Muirfield.
The Friday round was especially forgettable for the two-time runner-up at Muirfield Village, particularly the front nine, where he made three double bogeys and three bogeys to post a 9-over 45. His first birdie of the day didn't come until the 15th hole.
Fowler hasn't looked like his best this year, and so far, he has made just one top-25 finish.
