PGA Championship Cut Line: Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Others Miss Cut In Tough Kiawah Field

Martin Kaymer is two years removed from winning the PGA Championship, but this year he won’t even be playing on Sunday. He’s not alone: many notable names failed to make the cut and won’t be playing going forward.

The cut-line was at 6-over and Kaymer more than doubled that at 14-over. But the course at Kiawah Island took more victims: Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood were a stroke off continuing play at 7-over, with Hunter Mahan at 8-over also finished for the tournament. Rickie Fowler shot 10-over, so his tournament is done, which is a bummer for any teenagers attending the tournament with bright-colored Puma hats. Fowler was tied with Matt Kuchar at 10-over.

The world number one barely made the cut, as Luke Donald came into the clubhouse at 6-over for the first two rounds, managing to avoid an embarrassing exit.
