What is the cutline at the 2024 Irish Open? Who missed the cut?
Home heroes Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry remain in contention going into the weekend at the 2024 Irish Open at Royal County Down Golf Club, while 2016 PGA Champion Jimmy Walker is also safely through to round three.
However, there has already been some disappointment for the rest of the American contingent in the field, and more looks likely to follow on Friday. As it stands, Walker is the only player from the United States who made the cut, which ended up at +2.
Irish stars McIlroy and Lowry in position to challenge
McIlroy’s 1-under par 70 on Friday leaves him on -4 for the tournament and means he will start the weekend two shots behind Matteo Mnassero from Italy, who shot 5-under par on Friday.
Lowry and two-time PGA Tour winner Robert MacIntyre are level with Walker, three strokes further back on -1.
Which players could miss the cut at the 2024 Irish Open?
Americans Sean Crocker (+5) and James Nicholas (+7) won’t be sticking around for the weekend, while Johannes Veerman (+3), who has also finished his second round, will have to hope the cut moves back a shot.
John Catlin, who won the tournament in 2020, Jordan Gumberg, Gunner Wiebe and Chase Hanna are the other U.S. players currently outside the cut line.
European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald and three-time major winner Padraig Harrington are also among the players who have a fight on their hands to get themselves above the cut line.
What’s the 2024 Irish Open prize purse?
There is a $6 million total prize purse at Royal County Down Golf Club in Newcastle, Northern Ireland, where the winner is due to receive a prize cheque for $1.02 million.
