Spanish Open: Which big names missed the cut in Madrid?

The Spanish Open will continue this weekend without some big names. 

After 36 holes at Real Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, Scotland's Grant Forrest is out in front on 9-under.

The 33-year-old, who is chasing his third DP World Tour title, added a 66 to his opening 67 and has a one-shot lead over Swiss pro Joel Girrbach and his compatriot Connor Syme.

Former LIV Golf recruit Eugenio Chacarra battled through the pain of a fractured toe and is in a tie for fourth alongside England's Joe Dean. 

Home favourites Angel Ayora, Sergio Garcia, Josele Ballester, Jorge Campillo, Alfredo Garcia-Heredia, Pablo Larrazabal and Angel Hidalgo are safely through to the weekend. 

However, some big names are heading home. 

GolfMagic has decided to take a look.

Which big names missed the cut?

England's Justin Rose could only manage two rounds of 1-over par 72 and missed the cut by one stroke. 

Former Masters champion and Race to Dubai leader, Patrick Reed, also missed the cut by one. 

Reed, who was hoping to extend his advantage over Rory McIlroy in the season-long points race, was making his first start on the DP World Tour since having to withdraw from the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth with a sore wrist.

Another green jacket winner, Bubba Watson, also didn't do enough to make it through to the weekend.

Watson, who is yet to confirm whether he will continue with LIV Golf in 2027, was playing this week on an invite from the tournament sponsor. 

Fellow LIV Golf recruits Tom McKibbin, Adrian Meronk and Elvis Smylie also missed the cut. 

As did Rose's Ryder Cup teammate, Tyrrell Hatton, who finished on 6-over after firing rounds of 76 and 72.
