Because I don’t see Bubba Watson being a top two golfer I might have screwed up I might have taken out like Jason day or Shane Lowry that just doesn’t make sense why he’s in somehow not because he’s an Augustin native but yeah I have to take a look to see if I

Had moken for someone else I bet you Donuts was supposed to be like Shane Lowry or something yeah because I don’t see why I had Bubba Watson unless I mistook him for someone else and like Shane Larry is not here that’s for brdy he missed for

Deceased golfer IRL from the 1980s he’s second at 500 par and a three-way tie for third between Thomas Morgan Curry moff and Bill malorn Thomas Morgan pulling off some kind of stunner well despite the fact he had two boogies he had four birdies and a eagle on

Eight Jack White and sa basos at 300 part tied for six and Ry at the top 10 and minus two fake gy Rod fun Phil Nicholson Dave Hill James BR Tom Layman Lee trino Bruce Devin Charles Co Ben crot and Matt coer on the other side of the

Coin John ROM with a surprising seven overpar Ray Floyd at s overpar Sergio Garcia at six over par that’s a surprise by the Spaniards Frank beard six over par Rory maroy surprisingly at six overp par so that’s huge and Jason day the defending Champion is TI for

35th so as of right now the cut line would be one under par so there would be 27 golfers 19th places minus one but remember it’s top 20 and ties so as of right now there would be 27 golfers that would be going to the weekend as you can see the minus ones

Big see Ru gal Max Smith lurry Nelson Urban Bobby lock pay Stewart Dustin Johnson Tom WSOP just above the cut line whereas people like fuzzy Celler Greg Norman old Tom Morris Julius Sports Tom Watson herin Baron and US H are just one behind the cut line but remember it is

Just one round so anything can change the cut line could change for the better or for the worse depending on your point of view or who you’re tring for so anyway that’s all for round one round two as I said we’ll have the 18 full for
