This year, the tournament’s cut line is placed at one-under and several golfers will not be in the field on moving day, including Henderson, Zhang, and Ayaka Furue.

5 Golfers who missed the Mizuho Americas Open cut

#1 Brooke Henderson

Brooke Henderson burst into the world of professional golf in 2014 after winning the South Atlantic Ladies' Amateur Championship and the Ontario Women’s Amateur. A two-time major champion winner, the Ontario-born golfer clinched the Women’s PGA Championship title in 2016 and the Evian Championship 2022.

Henderson was attempting to claim her first title of the year at Liberty National, but finished at even par after her first two rounds. She made even par across 15 holes in her opening round and shot four birdies on the front nine in her second round. However, after four bogeys on the back nine, she carded 71, bringing an end to her time at Liberty National.

#2 Rose Zhang

In 2023, American golfer Rose Zhang turned pro and made her professional debut in the inaugural Mizuho Americas Open, which she won. Her victory made her the first golfer to claim the title in her debut LPGA Tournament since Beverly Hanson achieved the feat in 1951.

Zhang won her second title at the 2024 Cognizant Founder Cup and was attempting to win her third title at Liberty National. However, she finished with four-over 75, far from the cutline of one-under.

#3 Ayaka Furue

Japanese golfer Ayaka Furue has won two events on the LPGA Tour and two on the Ladies European Tour. She won her first and only major championship in the 2024 Evian Championship after shooting 19-under 265.

This year, Furue has competed in ten LPGA Tour events and has made the cut in all except the Mizuho Americas Open. Her first missed cut of 2025 came at Liberty National after she carded 71 and 73 in her first and second rounds respectively. She finished at even par, missing the one-under cut line.

#4 Georgia Hall

Georgia Hall was chasing her third LPGA Tour title in the 2025 Mizuho Americas Open but finished with two-over, far from the cut line. During her first round, the Bournemouth-born golfer carded 74 after making five bogeys and three birdies.

During her second round at the Mizuho Americas Open, Hall opened with a birdie and made a double bogey on the 14th. She carded 72 at the end of the day, bringing her journey at Liberty National to an end.

#5 Angel Yin

American professional golfer Angel Yin claimed her maiden LPGA Tour at the 2023 Buick LPGA Shanghai and her second title at the 2025 Honda LPGA Thailand. She attempted to claim her third title in the Mizuho Americas Open but suffered a disastrous opening round after scoring three-over.
