What happened to Sahith Theegala? Exploring the golfer's forgetful 2023 World Wide Technology Championship outing

Sahith Theegala had a horrible outing on Friday, November 3, as he failed to make a cut at the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship. He shot a 1-under 71 in the second round after shooting a 70 on Thursday. After aggregating a 3-under, he missed the cutline by two strokes.

Theegala started the Friday round with a birdie but then holed a double and a bogey on the third and fourth. He recovered well with three more birdies in the front nine. On the back nine, he sank three birdies, but three more bogeys meant he would finish the round just under par.

Last month, the 25-year-old golfer won the 2023 Fortinet Championship, his first title on the PGA Tour, and finished in the top 20 in all four of his last four starts. The missed cut at El Cardonal will not be affecting him much as he has already secured his PGA Tour card and is exempt from all the Signature events next year.

Camilo Villegas had the two-stroke lead at the World Wide Technology Championship after he shot 64 in two straight rounds. He started the Friday round with an eagle on par 5, hole 1, and sank birdies on the next two holes. He finished the round with six more birdies, including three straight on 16-18. The two bogeys came on the fourth and seventh holes.

Matt Kuchar was at 14 under after consecutive 65s. Stephen Jaeger and Justin Suh were tied for third at 13-under. Both carded 65 on the second day after a 66 in the opening round.

There is a four-way tie between Kramer Hickok, Chesson Hadley, Erik van Rooyen, and Will Gordon for fifth place after 36 holes.
