Barracuda Championship 2025: Round Two Underway, Cut Line Looms at Old Greenwood
TRUCKEE, Calif. – July 18, 2025 – The second round of the Barracuda Championship 2025 is in full swing today at the picturesque Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood course, as golfers battle not just the challenging Jack Nicklaus-designed layout but also the unique Modified Stableford scoring system. With the cut line looming at the end of play, the pressure is mounting for players to secure their spot for the weekend rounds.
After an impressive opening performance on Thursday, Ben Martin currently holds the lead, having amassed 16 points in Round One. Hot on his heels are David Lipsky and Nick Watney, both tied for second with 14 points, while a group of contenders, including Joel Dahmen, are just a point behind at 13. The Modified Stableford format, which awards points for birdies, eagles, and double eagles while deducting for bogeys and double bogeys, encourages aggressive play and can lead to dramatic shifts on the leaderboard.
Today’s Round Two is particularly critical as it marks the tournament’s cut. Only the top 65 players, including ties, will advance to Saturday and Sunday’s play, intensifying the competition. Players are pushing hard to avoid falling below the projected cut line and ensure their participation in the final two rounds.
Beyond the competitive golf, Friday at the Barracuda Championship is also a day of special significance. It’s “Folds of Honor Friday,” with a heartfelt tribute ceremony and the National Anthem scheduled at the 18th Green to honor military families. Spectators are also enjoying the ongoing “Wine Walk sponsored by Black Stallion,” offering a unique blend of golf action and local flavors.
“Every point counts in this format, and you can feel the intensity building today with the cut looming,” commented a tournament official. “The players are really embracing the challenge, and we’re looking forward to an exciting finish to the day as the field narrows for the weekend.”
Golf fans can follow the action live on the Golf Channel as players vie to make the cut and position themselves for a run at the Barracuda Championship title and its $4 million purse.
