Brooks Koepka's chances of competing in the WM Phoenix Open have come to an abrupt end as he failed to make the cut, ending his week at two over after a disappointing 36 holes. The five-time major champion, who has been struggling with form since returning from LIV Golf, was eliminated from contention just shy of halfway through the event.
On the other hand, Ryo Hisatsune's impressive display continues as he leads the pack with an eight-under 63 in his front nine. The Japanese star's stunning round took him to a total of 11 under at TPC Scottsdale in Arizona, leaving his fellow countryman Hideki Matsuyama in his wake.
The leader board sees Pierceson Coody and Chris Gotterup tie for third on eight under, with a strong pack following closely behind. Matthew Fitzpatrick and John Parry are four strokes off top spot on seven under, while world No 1 Scottie Scheffler is still in the hunt for his 21st PGA Tour title.
Scheffler's performance this week is reminiscent of his victory at the same event four years ago, where he came from nine shots back to win. This time around, however, he trailed by seven strokes after a strong opening round of 65, which left him at four under for the tournament so far.
Despite trailing Hisatsune, Scheffler remains in contention and will draw inspiration from his past performances. The world No 1's flawless 65 in the second round has stretched his PGA Tour cut streak to 66 events back to 2022.
The final two rounds of the WM Phoenix Open are set to be a thrilling spectacle as the remaining players battle it out for the top spot on the leaderboard. With Fitzpatrick, Parry and Coody closing the gap, Scheffler will have his work cut out if he wants to claim another victory in this prestigious event.
