The first round of the 2024 British Open has concluded, bringing us closer to determining the Champion Golfer of the Year. As players battle it out on the leaderboard, many are at risk of missing the cut and not advancing to the weekend rounds at Royal Troon.
Following 36 holes, the top 70 players and ties will progress to compete in the final two rounds in Scotland, leaving the rest to pack up and go home. As of now, the projected cut stands at 3 over par, with 81 contenders in line to continue into the weekend.
Here are some notable players currently outside the cutline:
– Ludvig Aberg of Sweden
– Bryson DeChambeau of the United States
– Tommy Fleetwood of England
– Tom Kim of South Korea
– Max Homa
– Sahith Theegala of the United States
– Henrik Stenson of Sweden
– Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland
– Wyndham Clark of the United States
– Cameron Smith of Australia
Each of these players will need to regroup and deliver a strong performance on Friday to secure their spot in the upcoming rounds. The stakes are high as they strive to avoid elimination and keep their British Open dreams alive.
