AUGUSTA — Jon Rahm squeaked into weekend play at the Masters.
The 2023 champion finished the tournament’s first two rounds at 2-over 146, landing on the cut line to advance to Saturday and Sunday.
Some big-name contenders, former winners and feel-good hopefuls missed out.
Brooks Koepka, twice a runner-up here, is done after ending his round on Friday with a bogey at 17 and an 8 at 18, tumbling to +5 for the tournament.
Former Masters winners Dustin Johnson (+3), Bernhard Langer (+3), Sergio Garcia (+4), Mike Weir (+4), Phil Mickelson (+5), Adam Scott (+5), Fred Couples (+5), José María Olazábal (+7) and Ángel Cabrera (+11) also will not make the cut.
Other trendy picks for strong appearances who did not move forward included former UGA golfer Russell Henley, who missed out by one shot after a bogey on 18 Friday, Cameron Smith (+5), and Will Zalatoris (+8).
Heartbreak happened for Langer, the two-time champion appearing in his final Masters. He missed a short putt on 18 to fall from inside the cut to one shot off.
Players in the top 50 places on the leaderboard, plus ties, advance to the final two rounds. Fifty-three players are scheduled to tee off in Saturday’s third round.
Former winners Jordan Spieth and Zach Johnson joined Rahm at 2-under to continue playing.
