The projected cut line is drawn at even par. Several of the players who were unable to finish have a chance to overcome it, such is the case of Evan Harmeling, who is on the 16th hole with a score of 1 over. Trace Crowe is also on the 16th hole with a score of 2 over.

Jimmy Stanger and Tom Whitney are in the opposite case, as they are over the cut on the number when they play the 16th hole. Vince Whaley has the same score playing the 17th hole.
