SANDWICH, England - Four of Oklahoma State's seven representatives at The Open Championship made the cut following Friday's round at Royal St. George's.
Former OSU All-American Rickie Fowler posted his second consecutive 70 to stand in a tie for 19th place at even-par 140. At the event's halfway point, Fowler stands four shots off the pace of co-leaders Darren Clarke and Lucas Glover.
Charles Howell III, the 2000 NCAA champion during his time in Stillwater, posted a 70 on Friday to go with an opening 71 to stand in a tie for 32nd place at 141.
Bo Van Pelt bounced back from a 73 during his opening round with a 69 to move up the leaderboard into a tie for 45th at 2-over 142.
Also among the group at 142 was rising senior Peter Uihlein, who was one of two amateurs to make it to the weekend. The Orlando, Fla., native posted consecutive 71s to get to his 2-over tally.
Former Cowboys Hunter Mahan, Alex Norén and Chris Tidland were also in the field, but did not advance to the weekend.
