NORTH BERWICK (Scotland) - The talk of the town is not the success of Rory McIlroy (No.2 Worldwide) but the fact No. 1 worldwide, Scottie Scheffler, missed the cut. Scheffler’s streak for making the cut ended at 78 tournaments.
Northern Ireland’s Rory McIIroy (T1/-9) has played all 14 rounds of his career at this event in the 60s, the highest percentage of any player at this event since 2022.
The 2023 Genesis Scottish Open winner has finished inside the top five the last three starts at the event (Won/2023, T4/2024, T2/2025) and now holds his 13th career 36-hole lead/co-lead on the PGA TOUR and second this season (Masters Tournament/Won). Rory is 7-for-12 to date.
World No. 2 is making 10th start on TOUR this season and has a win (Masters Tournament) and runner-up (The Genesis Invitational) and seeks 31st PGA TOUR victory and with a win would tie Jimmy Demaret (15th all time).
Matt Fitzpatrick (T4/-8) seeks to become the first player from England to earn four wins in a season and the first player to earn four or more wins in a season since Scottie Scheffler in 2025 (wins: Valspar Championship, RBC Heritage, Zurich Classic of New Orleans); trails FedExCup leader Scheffler (3,511) by 316 points in the FedExCup standings and holds the TOUR’s current longest streak of consecutive made cuts with 28 (last missed cut: 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans)
