The PGA Championship is a major golf tournament that attracts some of the world's best players. This year, however, it seems that some of the notable Europeans might not be making it to the weekend. Tommy Fleetwood and Viktor Hovland, both highly ranked golfers, are projected to miss the cut at Aronimink Golf Club. Fleetwood, who entered the tournament in good form after a tied fifth finish last week, struggled with a double bogey on the par-3 14th hole and subsequent bogeys at the 18th and sixth holes. His lone birdie on the par-5 ninth hole was not enough to make up for the early setbacks. This projected missed cut is a surprising turn of events, as it will be just the second time in Fleetwood's last 10 starts at the PGA Championship. Meanwhile, Hovland's middling season continues, with this being his first missed cut in seven PGA Championship starts. With only one top-10 finish this season, Hovland's performance has been underwhelming. The difficult, windy conditions at Aronimink contributed to the high scores and the cutline inching higher up the board. J.J. Spaun and Michael Block, a PGA professional turned cult figure, also struggled, shooting 6 and 5 over, respectively. The cutline is expected to be a significant challenge for the remaining players, as the morning wave finished with many golfers facing the prospect of missing the cut. The PGA Championship is a prestigious event, and the projected missed cuts by Fleetwood and Hovland highlight the competitive nature of the tournament. It will be interesting to see how the remaining players fare and whether any of them can make a late charge to secure a spot in the weekend's action.
