The Memorial Tournament will continue this weekend without some big names.
After 36 holes at the Jack Nicklaus designed Muirfield Village, America's J.T. Poston has a one-shot lead.
The 33-year-old tore round the Ohio venue on Friday, carding a seven-under 65 to reach nine-under.
Poston's round included eight birdies and only one dropped shot.
He leads compatriot Ryan Gerard by one stroke at the halfway stage.
England's Tommy Fleetwood is still in contention, whilst Sam Burns, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Alex Fitzpatrick and recent PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai are also inside the top 10.
Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are well off the pace.
Despite being a 72-man field, the 2026 Memorial Tournament carried a 36-hole cut for the top 50 players and ties.
Some big names missed the cut at the penultimate $20m signature event.
GolfMagic has decided to take a look at those who made an early exit.
Brian Harman +6
The former Open champion is always up against it when length is demanded off the tee.
Jason Day +6
The former world number one spoke openly of his mental struggles after round one.
Jordan Spieth +6
Spieth will head into the 2026 U.S. Open hoping to find some form soon.
Billy Horschel +6
Perhaps we should cut the American some slack as he is still working his way back to a full schedule following surgery on his hip last season.
Robert MacIntyre +7
The Scotsman was tipped to win a major this season but has only produced three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this year.
Rickie Fowler +17
An absolute disaster for Rickie Fowler, who carded rounds of 79-82 this week to finish on 17-over.
