Mac's 3 over 3rd round causes him to miss the cut by 4 shots. Oh well

Rough patch for most of these guys..Harry Higgs, sponsored by Dude Wipes, has been relegated to the Korn Ferry with two top 20’s there thus far with some wild play to date…Kraft WD’d from Korn Ferry qualifying and has played really nowhere thus far…Messiener has PGA Tour status, but limited to only 2 starts thus far and two MC’s…Smotherman, after some rough play on Tour, back on KF with one Top 5, like Higgs, all over the place…maybe the next guy up / to watch is Noah Goodwin - moving up the KF board with a 63 today, sits at T-3, and is Top Ten on points list….otherwise, you have to dig deep on page 47 of the sports page these days to find our guys. #DudeWipes!!

I haven't really followed LIV golf but tuned in briefly yesterday and see that Bryson is in one of his hit streaks. Miss him on the PGA Tour

Smotherman makes the cut at minus 4 and is T-31st, 7 shots off the lead in this week's event in Mexico while Meissner misses the cut at plus 4

Weekend collapse for Austin once again as his 2 over round drops him to a T-61st and ahead of only 3 golfers who made the cut

[Charleston Pony]

Austin closes with a 2 under 69 and T-52nd ahead of 8 other golfers, earning $19,467 for the week

Mac Meissner's one over opening round at the Cognizant in Palm Beach Gardens, FL has him needing to go low today if he has any hope of making the cut. Looks like he starts today about 3 or maybe 4 shots off the cut line

[Charleston Pony]

Mac is 4 under through 12 holes today. Giving it the old college try in windy conditions in his attempt to make the cut this week. Only 5 shots off the lead although several golfers ahead of him haven't started their 2nd rounds yet. Guys are scoring much better today. Ricky Fowler at minus 5 and Mac at minus 4 have the best rounds of the day going so far

[Charleston Pony]

Mac makes bogey on the par 3 17th hole for the 2nd day in a row and finishes his day at minus 3 and sits at minus 2 through 36 holes...just good enough to make the cut and start tomorrow 9 shots off the lead

[Charleston Pony]

It's "moving day" at the Cognizant but Mac is even par through 15 holes. He's been up and down today with 4 birdies offset by 5 bogeys. His 2 under score puts him ahead of only 3 other golfers who made the cut this week but at least he will earn a check.

[Charleston Pony]

Mac shoots a final round 2 under featuring 5 birdies and 3 bogeys suggesting he played aggressive golf this weekend trying to move up the leaderboard but he's sitting in a T-52nd with a handful of players still on the course with a chance to pass him today.

Mac finishes T-53rd and pockets $21,390 for the week
