From the early wave, World No. 73 Maverick McNealy navigated a 3-under 35-34=69 in R2 of the Rocket Mortgage Classic to post even-par 144, up 36 spots on the day but missing the cut by three shots.
A total of 75 pros from a field of 155 pros and one amateur made the 36-hole cut of 3-under 141, 17 (T59) on the number. McNealy, a pre-tourney 33/1 outright and playing his sixth straight week on TOUR, had recorded a pair of top 25s in two prior visits, including a T8 in 2020, and misses his fifth cut of the season in 25 events, first since the Travelers, which began this run of six events in a row. After kicking off with 3-over 75 (2 birdies, 5 bogeys), he outpaced two squares on Day 2 with five birdies, but the damage was already done, ending the short week ranked 41st SG: Putting (1.909) but 139th SG: Tee-to-Green (-4.173). Other notable early exits include: 142- Harris English; Mark Hubbard; Gary Woodland .. 143- Kevin Kisner; Matt Kuchar .. 144- Davis Riley; Chesson Hadley; Denny McCarthy .. 146- Nick Hardy .. 147- Joel Dahmen; Rickie Fowler; Greyson Sigg .. 148- C.T. Pan.
