He opened with four consecutive pars before playing the next three holes in 4-over and making the turn with a 3-over 39. The Vancouver, Wash. native played the first four holes of his inward nine in 6-over, but closed out his day in good fashion, finishing his final five holes in 1-under.

The duo will not compete during the weekend after missing the cut, which was set at 9-over 149.
Two of the three former Cowboys in the field did finish above the cut line as Bo Van Pelt followed his opening round 72 with a 5-over 75 to stand in a tie for 29th place at 147, while Charles Howell III moved into a tie for 42nd place at 148 after posting an impressive 1-over 71 during his second round.
