Here are the biggest names to miss the cut at the 2018 edition of the PGA Championship from Bellerive Country Club.

It took a little while to get here but the second round of the 100th PGA Championship from Bellerive Country Club is finally in the books. A nasty patch of weather hit the St. Louis area on Friday afternoon, which halted play at 3:35 p.m. local time, which meant many players had to come back early Saturday morning to finish up their round.

Friday saw many players go low, including Brooks Koepka and Kevin Kisner matching the PGA Championship low-round scoring record with 63, but it also saw a few big-name players struggle. Bubba Watson had a very rough day at Bellerive, shooting an eight-over round of 78, and headed on home for the weekend. But hey, at least he didn’t have to get up early on a Saturday, right? With birdies out there to be had, Matt Kuchar and Sergio Garcia just couldn’t get things going and will be headed home as well. Masters champion Patrick Reed won’t be getting the chance to win his second major championship of the year after a second-round 71.

A few big names that finished up their rounds on Saturday morning who won’t be sticking around for the afternoon include Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson, who famously dueled on Sunday at The Open Championship . They won’t get the chance tomorrow.

Even-par ended up being the number to hit with a few players getting a little dramatic and making birdie on their final hole to get in. In all, 80 players will be playing the rest of the weekend at the 100th PGA Championship.  Here are some big names that won’t.

  • Matt Kuchar +1
  • Sergio Garcia +1
  • Bryson DeChambeau +1
  • J.B. Holmes +1
  • Davis Love III +1
  • Padraig Harrington +1
  • Matthew Fitzpatrick +2
  • Henrik Stenson +2
  • Alex Noren +2
  • Charley Hoffman +3
  • John Daly +3
  • Patrick Reed +3
  • Phil Mickelson +4
  • Jason Dufner +4
  • Danny Willett +4
  • Y.E. Yang +7
  • Bubba Watson +8
  • Paul Casey +8
  • Si Woo Kim +9
