Valero Texas Open: Rickie Fowler, Max Homa miss the cut
Matt McCarty made a dramatic eagle to make the cut on the number at the Valero Texas Open, but some big names weren't so lucky.
SAN ANTONIO – Everything is bigger in Texas, including how Matt McCarty made the cut on Friday at the Valero Texas Open . McCarty was even par with one hole to go at TPC San Antonio's Oaks Course but he ripped two beauties at the par-5 18 th hole and converted the 5-foot eagle putt to shoot 68 and make the cut on the number at 2-under 142. That’s called getting it done.
Mark Hubbard flirted with going from first-round leader to having the weekend off. After a 65 on Thursday, he toured his front nine in 1-under 35 and was in the top 5 in the tournament. But the back nine got ugly as he came home in 42 and needed a par at the last to make the cut on the number.
Golf is fickle. Let's take a look at some of the notables who were sent packing. The cut will be official on Saturday (it will be 2 under) because the second round didn't finish.
Luke Clanton is the lone golfer in the field who didn't finish. He's at 2 under on his final hole. He needs to par to play the weekend.
