Missing the cut after shooting 4 under for 36 holes might make a professional golfer consider a career as a YouTuber. Rafael Campos put up a valiant fight, shooting a 67 in the second round but it wasn’t enough. He needed a birdie on one of his final two holes on Saturday morning to make the cut on the number but it wasn’t to be. He missed from 15 feet at the last. Campos entered the week at No. 148 in the FedEx Cup after missing eight straight starts during the middle of the season. With a baby on the way, every start is precious for Campos right now.

Malnati has hit a rut. 

The winner of the Valspar Championship back in March hasn’t recorded a top-25 finish in 17 starts (not counting the Zurich Classic team event, where he was T-19). Malnati missed his fifth cut in his last seven starts and six of eight of counting the BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour.

Malnati struggled with the driver and putter on Thursday and opened with 73. He bounced back a bit on Friday with a 4-under 67 that included an eagle at the last but it’s his 12^th weekend off in 26 starts this season.

The Presidents Cup International Team captain was in position to make his first cut of the season on the PGA Tour after six birdies in his first nine holes and an opening-round 68. But Weir, a BYU alum, couldn’t keep pace on Friday. He went double bogey, bogey, bogey beginning at No. 14, after starting on the back nine, and posted 74 on Friday.

The difference was his putter, which gained him 1.774 strokes in the first round and lost him 2.390 strokes a day later.

Luke List’s listless play continues. He missed his ninth cut in his last 11 starts and other than a T-2 at the Genesis Invitational back in February, it’s been a forgettable season.

On Friday, he was 0-for-6 in scrambling and lost more than three strokes to the field in SG: putting.

Montgomery was skating along at 5 under for the tournament after 24 holes and looking to be in good shape to make the cut if not be part of the the trophy hunt when his round hurtled off the rails. He played the remaining 12 holes on Friday in 6 over and signed for 69-74 and another weekend off. Montgomery’s fall is off to a miserable start. He shot a second-round 80 at the Procore Championship to miss the cut and an opening-round 74 and withdrew last week at Sanderson Farms. He’ll try to bounce back at his home game next week in Las Vegas.

It’s a dirty dozen for Villegas, who missed his 12^th straight cut on the PGA Tour. 

Whatever magic the Colombian found last fall when he won in Bermuda has disappeared. Villegas, who entered the week at No. 194 in the FedEx Cup, shot 69-74. Villegas was just 3 of 9 in scrambling on Friday and struggled with all parts of his game.

The former Georgia Bulldog opened with 69 despite a triple bogey but didn’t have his good stuff this week, signing for 74 on Friday to miss the cut. One week after he held the 54-hole lead and barely missed out on joining the playoff at the Sanderson Farms Championship (finishing T-3). Mitchell’s driver, the strength of his game, let him down. He hit just 8 of 14 fairways on Friday, which ranked 128^th in the field. His putter was equally as erratic. He lost more than 2 strokes on the greens. It added up to his seventh missed cut of the season in 25 starts. 

Kisner missed his third straight cut and 15^th in 20 starts this season. His tee-to-green game was downright putrid on Thursday. He lost more than five strokes in the category. He made just one birdie in the first round en route to posting 78. A double bogey at the first hole on Friday didn’t help matters. He carded three birdies but signed for 73 in the second round, and spent another week as a member of the back of the pack club.

This week, Jay Don Blake became the fourth golfer this season to make his 500th start on the PGA Tour, joining Ryan Palmer, Charley Hoffman and Zach Johnson.

It was a special week for Blake despite missing the cut. He started with a 2-over 73 on Friday, but a 79 on Friday took away any chance he had of making the weekend.

That doesn’t take away from what has been an incredible career for the 65-year-old.

“It was a great experience. You know, we’ve talked quite a bit about the scenario, how it all happened, to be in my hometown, the 500th PGA Tour start going to be the end of my PGA Tour career. I don’t think I need to get 501,” Blake said.

“Had a lot of crazy emotions all the time. I mean, the first tee shot was pretty nerve-wracking. I mean, even continuing on, I never really felt totally comfortable. I just wanted to do so well. Then I didn’t want to hit really bad shots. I just played so conservative. You know, the golf was just another thing really. The playing and being able to participate in the 500th event is just a crazy dream story. I mean, I gave up on trying to get 500 about 10, 12 years ago.”

The Utah native and BYU alum couldn’t give the fans a reason to cheer. He shot 71-69 and missed the cut for just the second time in his last seven starts. On Thursday, his iron play was off.

“I didn’t control my spin very well. The ball was really ripping back for me and I spun it off so many false fronts, so many decent shots that didn’t turn out very good,” he said.

His proximity to the hole ranked 100th and his putter was cold during the opening round to dig himself a hole he failed to get out of on Friday.

“Didn’t have great looks that often and the ones I did I didn’t really roll the ball that well,” he said. “It was an uphill battle out there.”
