Rory is my favorite golfer and this has been a bad bad start. What do you guys think he will have to shoot second round to make cut? Im thinking 2 under which doesn't seem likely. That means im thinking cut line is about +5.
DJ is doing what he does. I hope he can distance himself to overcome his putting deficiencies once greens speed up over weekend. Too great a golfer not to win a big one.

I think so too. The cut line is bound to move up. Right now, there are 71 guys at +5 or better, BUT there are literally 50 players between +2 and +8 that haven't even started their 2nd round yet AND the course is drying out and is going to play faster.
The number at the beginning of the 2nd round was +3. I'm thinking the number will be more like +7 or even +8 by tomorrow afternoon.
Cut line is right on the edge of moving up to +6. 13 guys tied for 48th. If one of them loses another shot, it'll raise the cut to 6 and bring in 10 more guys currently tied for 61st. Not sure I can ever remember seeing 23 players either at the cut line or 1 shot off.
Force the guys who played Thursday to play Friday afternoon instead of turning around the Friday morning players. That way the only guys likely playing 36 on a day are those that make the cut Saturday.
