Homa’s missed cut is going to sting more than most. He made five back-nine birdies, including three in a row starting at 15 to get to 2 under and the right side of the cutline. But the par-5 18th, which has been the site of some of his finest heroics, bit back. Homa, who was a Presidents Cup captain’s pick, missed a 10-foot par putt and signed for 72 and 1-under 143 total.
Homa was one-for-seven in scrambling on Friday. It was his first missed cut since the U.S. Open in June.
