Low scores were anything but rare Thursday, highlighted by Cameron Tringale’s course-record-tying 61 that had him three shots in front heading into the second round.
Friday was a different story.
The wind was consistent on day two of the Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club.
After both opened with 71s, Collin Morikawa and Will Zalatoris, two of the best ball-strikers on the planet, stumbled to 74s and missed the cut. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler needed a birdie at the last to make the weekend but carded a bogey. All three will likely head to St. Andrews for early Open prep.
Tringale still holds the lead, but he too struggled on Friday, at one point making four bogeys in a row. He signed for a 2-over 72, is 7 under after two days and enters Saturday with a three-shot lead over Gary Woodland and Doug Ghim.
