When Friday at the 2025 Open Championship began, Bryson DeChambeau seemed a likely choice to be the most prominent golfer to miss the projected cut at the final major of 2025. He was 7-over after Thursday’s opening round and didn’t have a great track record on links golf courses.
But DeChambeau authored a charge in the morning at Royal Portrush that proved to be just enough, and his old rival, Brooks Koepka, wound up with the unfortunate distinction as the most accomplished member of this year’s field to not make the weekend. Koepka’s recent struggles continued as he wound up 7-over at the completion of 36 holes of tournament play. He missed the cut at three of the four majors this year.
DeChambeau is at 1-over, which ended up as the cut line to play the final two rounds. Only the top 70 on the leaderboard (including ties) after Friday’s second round made it through to Saturday’s third round. Collin Morikawa and Patrick Reed were also among the past major winners and 2025 Ryder Cup hopefuls to wind up on the wrong of the cut line at the British Open this year.
Here’s a breakdown of all the notable golfers that didn’t make the cut at Royal Portrush following the conclusion of Friday’s second round at the 2025 Open Championship:
