Scottie Scheffler has not missed the cut at a single event on the PGA Tour in four years – but that streak has now ended.
The two-time Masters champion has ended his tournament before the weekend at the Genesis Scottish Open.
As the field at the Renaissance Club took to the course on Friday, Scheffler knew he needed a better outing to challenge.
On Thursday, he posted a two-under-par 68, which left him three shots off the lead, but rather than chasing those at the top of the leaderboard, he went the opposite direction.
Scheffler sat at -1 with one hole to play in his second round, with the projected cut line for the event set at that same score.
It meant that all he had to do was par the final hole to book his spot for the weekend and keep his hopes of a win alive.
However, after leaving his tee shot short on the par-3 ninth, he could only leave himself a six-foot putt for par.
And he would miss by just four inches, meaning he posted a bogey before entering the clubhouse again, which saw him drop below the cut line and end his long streak of weekend appearances.
Four years and 78 events since last missing the cut, Scheffler is set to bow out after just two rounds in Scotland.
His last missed cut came at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in August 2022, which took place 1,428 days ago.
Scheffler now also falls well short of Tiger Woods’ record for most consecutive cuts made on the PGA Tour.
Woods remarkably didn’t miss the cut for 142 straight events, so Scheffler’s run has finished in just over half that length.
The new longest streak of cuts made belongs to Matt Fitzpatrick, who is on a run of 28 events, 50 fewer than Scheffler was.
Fitzpatrick is in contention at the top of the leaderboard in the Scottish Open, finishing his second round at -8.
As for Scheffler, he’ll now have all eyes on The Open next weekend, as he looks to claim another major title and go back-to-back in the event to make history as the first player to do so since 2009.
‘Not quite good enough’
Speaking after his disappointment, Scheffler said: “I got off to a tough start, back nine, I felt I wasn’t hitting it close enough.
“I think that’s what it comes down to, a poor start and then after that I just didn’t give myself a bunch of looks.
“Overall, it was just not quite good enough. I felt like I was hitting a little too far from the hole and not holing any of those putts.”
Outsmarting technology
Scheffler’s missed cut came after he impressively defied the logic of the PGA Tour’s technology at the Scottish Open.
During the broadcast of the first round on Thursday, the 30-year-old was lining up a putt to make it three straight birdies.
And on the screen for those watching at home was a projected aim line that technology thought the World No.1 should take.
However, as the aim line showed he should be going towards the left of the hole, he actually shot the complete other direction.
Scheffler sent his putt just to the right of the hole and watched as his ball perfectly rolled into the hole for a birdie.
The incredible moment showed just how good he is and that he can even outsmart technology on the greens.
But unfortunately for him, he wasn’t able to replicate those skills in his second round as he posted a +2.
