Doesn't make weekend at Birkdale
Kaneko missed the cut by eight strokes at The Open Championship following a two-over 72 second round.
ANALYSIS
Kaneko's hopes of qualifying for the weekend were dashed after a seven-over 77 opening round, when he carded eight bogeys and just one birdie. He was much better Friday, but the damage was already done, with the Japenese-born player failing to make the cut both at the Scottish Open and The Open. Kaneko's next appearance will likely be on the DP World Tour at the Danish Golf Championship on Aug. 13. He's 16th in the Race to Dubai Rankings, with those who finish in the top-10 at the end of the season -- otherwise not exempt -- earning a PGA Tour membership for 2027.
