PGA Tour rookie doubles last to miss Wyndham cut, likely playoffs

When play was suspended Friday evening at the Wyndham Championship, Austin Smotherman had a 12-foot birdie putt marked at the par-4 eighth, his penultimate hole of the second round, for a chance to move one shot clear of the cut line.

By the time Smotherman completed his round Saturday morning, his season was likely over, too.

The 28-year-old PGA Tour rookie, who entered the regular-season finale this week at Sedgefield Country Club barely holding onto a playoff berth at No. 125 in FedExCup points, missed the birdie putt before capping a 6-over 76 with a double bogey to finish at 1 over, two shots off the cut.
