LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A historically low cut line led to early exits for some big names at the PGA Championships. Jon Rahm’s run of 18 straight made cuts in majors ended when he posted a 1-over 72 during the second round at soggy Valhalla on Friday that left him at even par, one shot outside the projected cutline of 1-under, which be the lowest-ever at the PGA and just the third time in major championship history the cut was in red figures. Rahm hadn’t missed a weekend at a major since the 2019 PGA. In the interim, he’s captured a pair of of them — the 2021 U.S. Open and the 2023 Masters — while stamping himself as one of the best players in the world. Not so much in 2024. He finished a distant 45th at Augusta National, when he failed to break par in any round. Ludvig Aberg, who was briefly tied with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler on Sunday at the Masters before Scheffler pulled away, wasn’t quite as sharp after trading Georgia pines for Kentucky Bluegrass. Aberg was even through two rounds, his chance to play likely undone by a double-bogey at the par-4 12th. |
