A standings missing some stars halfway at the 2022 Players’ Championship usually means at least some superstars have failed to make it to the event’s final 36 holes. Such was the case this week as Sam Burns and Tom Hoge shared the lead after the first two rounds of a tournament delayed due to weather while Brooks Koepka, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa and Patrick Cantlay all missed out. chance to play the last two rounds.

Late tees – early with a TPC Sawgrass racquet are three times harder than early – late draws due to windy and wet conditions. Koepka, Spieth and Morikawa are all in that group. Koepka shot an 81 on Saturday in his second round in fierce winds. Spieth is not much better with 79.

Morikawa was perhaps the biggest surprise of the bunch as he arrived as one of the tournament’s few favorites. His 73-75 effort dropped two shots when he sneaked inside the cut. This is only the seventh time missed worldwide in his stellar youth career.
