The PGA TOUR tees off the second round of the 2023 RBC Canadian Open on Friday, and Andrew Novak has set the leading score in the clubhouse at -7 as the afternoon tee times begin.
The afternoon threesomes began at 12:15 p.m. ET, so it should be about 2-3 p.m. when a definitive cut line should be heading into focus. But of course many participants will know they're heading home after holing out on 18 after Round 2
How is the cut line determined?
The cut line at 36 holes is the top 65 players plus those tied at the end of that group.
What is the projected cut line for the RBC Canadian Open as of now?
Right now the cut line is projected at -1, with 69 players on the correct side, and a whopping 26 on -1 exactly.
Who is not projected to make the cut?
Sam Burns, Cameron Champ, and Cameron Young are all completing their rounds at even par, and might need some help to see the weekend unless they can find a birdie coming home.
Maverick McNealy fired an unexpected +6 over two days and will miss the weekend. Rory McIlroy finished with a -1 71 on Thursday, and will need at least even par to survive to Saturday.
