Brooks Koepka among notables to miss cut at 2026 Houston Open

The 2026 Texas Children's Houston Open is at the halfway point, and there are plenty of notable names who won't be around for the weekend. Gary Woodland has a three-shot lead after 36 holes at Memorial Park, where he shot 62 last year in the final round to finish runner-up behind Min Woo Lee. There are plenty of notable chasers, including Lee and fellow Aussies Jason Day and Adam Scott.

However, not every big name who teed it up in the first Texas stop are slamming their trunks after Friday's second round. Here's a look at the notables to miss the cut at the Houston Open.
