GREENSBORO, N.C. — Joel Dahmen joked on Saturday that he was finally playing on Saturday after missing his last three cuts. That was mostly due to Tropical Storm Debby postponing play on Thursday and pushing the completion of the first round and start of the second round to the weekend. But Dahmen came through in the clutch with three late birdies in a row beginning at 15 to post 6-under 64 and ensure two more rounds in what could be the first 36-hole final day since the 2013 Sentry.
When the second round of the Wyndham Championship was suspended due to darkness on Saturday at 8:20 p.m. ET, 22 golfers still had to finish their rounds, delaying the 36-hole cut until at least Sunday morning. But there were a handful of the biggest names in the field that won’t have to wait to learn their fate. They are already guaranteed to miss the cut, which is currently projected with 69 players at 4-under 136.
Andrew Putnam, who entered the week at No. 73 in the FedEx Cup, took three putts from 25 feet to miss the cut by one and Justin Rose slammed his club against his bag after his chip for birdie rimmed out of the cup at 18. At least Rose is moving on to the FedEx St. Jude Championship while Putnam will have the next three weeks off. Here are some of the other notables who won’t be teeing it up on Sunday.
