The biggest surprise below the cut line at the moment is world No. 1 Justin Rose, who missed a par putt on 18 to finish +4, one off the cut line. Rose shot 75-73 in the first two rounds.
Former Masters champions Danny Willett (75-73) and Sergio Garcia (73-75) also were going home early. Willett hasn’t made the cut here since winning in 2016. Garcia, the 2017 Masters champion, missed the cut for the second straight year.
Meanwhile, Paul Casey, who is ranked 11th in the world and won the Valspar Championship a month ago, opened with an 81. Casey bogeyed the 18th on Friday to go 81-73. He finished sixth at the Masters in 2017, his third straight top-6 finish in three years. But he won’t be around this weekend.
