5 big names who missed the cut at RBC Heritage

The 2023 RBC Heritage saw some surprises after the completion of two rounds at Harbour Town Golf Links on Friday.

Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and defending champion Jordan Spieth continued playing brilliant golf while Jimmy Walker surprised everyone with a three-stroke lead after the second round on Friday.

However, RBC Heritage also saw several big names failing to make the cut. Here's a look at the five big surprise exits at RBC Heritage.

#1. Tom Kim

Tom Kim missed the cut by just one shot. Over two days, he hit five birdies and four bogeys at RBC to aggregate at 1-under 141(71-70). He carded a birdie on the final hole on Friday but that was not sufficient to progress into the weekend.

Prior to RBC, Kim had made seven straight cuts after that till RBC since missing the cut at the Sony Open in January.

#2. Stewart Cink

Like Kim, Stewart Cink also fell one stroke short of the cut at RBC. The three-time winner at RBC started well with a 3-under 68 but a poor round of 73 on Friday meant he missed six straight cuts.

#3. Billy Horschel

Billy Horschel carded 69 on Thursday his only score being lower than 70 in the last 11 rounds on the PGA Tour. The 69 was followed by a 74 on Friday that included three birdies, four bogeys, and a double bogey.

#4. Joel Dahmen

Joel Dahmen had a disappointing second round at RBC Heritage

Joel Dahmen scored lower than Kink on Thursday. A round of 5-under 66 isn't bad by any golf standards, but the anti-climax hit on Friday when he carded a 75 in the second round. He started badly with two straight bogeys and hit three more bogeys to make a shock exit at RBC.

#5. Max Homa

Max Homa's streak of 15 consecutive cuts ended on Friday

It was the most shocking exit at the Harbour Town Golf Links as Homa's streak of 15 straight cuts ended on Friday. The two rounds of 73 and 72 included two double-bogeys and a triple-bogey. He last missed the cut at the Open Championship last year.
