Top 5 golfers who failed to make the cut at the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open
#1 Collin Morikawa
Collin Morikawa started with a round of 67 on Wednesday, January 24, and was in good form. However, things fell out of favor as he headed for the second round of the tournament on Thursday, January 25.
He started the second round with a bogey on the first hole, which was luckily followed by a birdie. He had a smooth start on Thursday when he carded two birdies on the front nine but things slipped from his hand on the back nine. He carded two bogeys and a double bogey on the final nine holes and failed to make the 3-under par cut.
Before the Farmers Insurance Open, Morikawa competed at The Sentry 2024 and was tied for fifth position.

Jason Day missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open by four strokes. He finished with a score of 1-over par 145 after playing two rounds of 74 and 71.
He carded two birdies and four bogeys in the opening round to score two-over par 74 and three birdies and two bogeys in the second round.
Before the Farmers Insurance Open, Day played at two PGA Tour events, The Sentry and The American Express. He settled in a tie for tenth place at the season-opening The Sentry and T34 at last week's event. But failed to make the cut at this week's tournament.
