Overview
- Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick, which carded a 7-under 65 in alternate-shot play Friday, moved to 15 under and into a tie for second one shot off the lead.
- Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer reached 16 under after a 70 in foursomes, following Thursday’s tournament-record-tying 58 that set a blistering pace.
- The cut fell at 10 under for the top 33 teams and ties, with Shane Lowry and Brooks Koepka missing the weekend by one and Tony Finau and Max Greyserman also out.
- Koepka’s early exit hurts his push to qualify for upcoming PGA Tour signature events, as he must play his way in without sponsor exemptions.
- Saturday returns to best ball before alternate shot on Sunday, with a $9.5 million purse and 400 FedEx Cup points per player going to the winning team.
