FORT WORTH, Texas — For Pierceson Coody, this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge has been a special one, not only because it’s a home game but also because his grandfather, Charles, was instrumental in getting him the appearance.
“Without his kind of connections to TCU and Colonial I don’t know if I would be standing right here, because I got a sponsor invite this week. My status wasn’t good enough to get in on my number,” Coody said. “So, yeah, I owe a lot to the tournament and to just my granddad for kind of having the relationships that he does and allowing me to play and I’m just happy that I’m taking advantage of the opportunity.”
Pierceson Coody has made the most of the chance, maneuvering his way into a tie for second place at the tournament’s midpoint. But while the former University of Texas star has had things go his way this week, a number of big names were sent packing after two rounds.
Here’s a look at some of the notables who failed to get below the cutline, which fell at 2 under.
