Matt McCarty

ANALYSIS
McCarty got off to a nice start with a three-under 67 in the first round, though his day was marred by a double bogey on the par-4 18th. That mistake ended up costing the American, who bogeyed three of his first four holes in the second round and went one-under the rest of the way, which was not enough for McCarty to qualify for the weekend. He was one of the better players around and on the green at The Renaissance Club, but he lost 2.87 strokes in his approach game, connecting on only 22 of 36 greens in regulation while losing another 1.09 strokes off the tee. It's the seventh MC in 21 tournaments this season for McCarty, and he's missed the cut in four of his last six tournaments, including at both the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. He'll look to bounce back next week at The Open Championship, where he missed the cut in 2025 at Royal Portrush in what was his first start at golf's oldest major.
