A rainy day on Friday at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm made for tough scoring conditions and some big names didn’t have the right stuff.
Few struggled as mightily as Patrick Reed, the former Masters champion, who shot 79, his worst single-round score since March 2020.
He wasn’t the only former major champion hitting the road on Friday. Among the cut casualties, who failed to shoot even-par 140 or better for 36 holes, were three former U.S. Open champions and a pair of British Open winners.
A full grand slam of past major winners headed home, including Masters champ Charl Schwartzel and PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner.
