Play began fog-free on Saturday morning at Whistling Straits for the first time all week. This allowed players to finish second-round play, setting the cut at 1-over as players entered moving day hoping to climb up the leaderboard in the third round.Many notable players missed the cut, including last year's PGA champion Y.E. Yang who finished 4-over. Two out of three of this year's major champions missed the cut as well. Paired with Masters winner Phil Mickelson, this year's U.S. Open champion, Graeme McDowell, missed the cut at 3-over 147 and the British Open champion, Louis Oosthuizen, barely missed the cut by shooting a 2-over 146 through the first two rounds.
Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington, the 2008 PGA champion and two-time British Open champion (2007, 2008), closed his second round with a double-bogey six , missing the cut by one stroke. He appeared to be recovering from an awful opening round in his second round of play, until all his hard work was lost when he hit his second shot on the 18th into a hazard.
Despite shooting an impressive 3-under 69 in the second round, Sergio Garcia was unable to recover from his miserable 6-over 78 in the first round, and his total 3-over 147 won't be enough to make the cut at Whistling Straits.
Other notable Americans who missed the cut were Boo Weekley, Kenny Perry, Lucas Glover and Anthony Kim. John Daly was forced to withdraw with a shoulder injury.
At the cut, Matt Kuchar leads the tournament at 8 under, with Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson, Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson all within six strokes of Kuchar as the third round progresses.
