Prominent golfers Sergio Garcia, Patrick Reed, and Jason Day fail to advance past the cut in both the BMW International Open and John Deere Classic tournaments.
In the world of golf, some of the sport's top players have recently faced setbacks at the BMW International Open and the John Deere Classic.
At the 2025 BMW International Open, the defending champion Ewen Ferguson missed the cut. The exact score at which he missed is not detailed, but Ferguson joins a list of notable players who have struggled this season.
Meanwhile, at the John Deere Classic, three-time major champion Jason Day and rising star Tom Kim both missed the cut. Day, who was a favourite for the tournament, has now missed the cut in two of his last four starts. Kim, who has had a poor run of form since his T7 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, ended his John Deere Classic campaign at 4-under.
Other players who missed the cut at the John Deere Classic include Ben Griffin, who finished three-under, and Luke Clanton, who ended three-under as well. This is Griffin's fifth missed cut of 2025.
Notably, there were also a few withdrawals after the cut. Aldrich Potgieter withdrew after round three despite being nine-under through 36 holes. Andrew Putnam withdrew midway through the second round due to a back injury after shooting 71 in the first round. Nicholas Lindheim also withdrew before play began on Friday due to a back injury following an opening round of 75.
In terms of positive performances, Doug Ghim is leading the John Deere Classic with a score of 11-under. He is closely followed by five players who are tied for second place, one stroke behind Ghim. Max Homa and Davis Thompson are also in contention at the John Deere Classic.
On the other side of the Atlantic, the BMW International Open has seen its fair share of excitement. Davis Bryant is leading the tournament with a score of 12-under, while Kristoffer Reitan is in second place, two strokes behind Bryant. David Puig and Rasmus Neergarrd-Petersen are in contention, with Eugenio Chacarra finishing the tournament at 8-over-par, placing him second to last.
Interestingly, Patrick Reed, who won a LIV Golf League event last week, missed the cut at the BMW International Open with a score of 2-under. Reed will next compete at the Genesis Scottish Open next week at The Renaissance Club.
Two players seeking their first wins on their respective circuits are Doug Ghim and Davis Bryant. Both players will be hoping to continue their strong form and secure their maiden victories in the coming weeks.
In conclusion, while some players have faced setbacks at the BMW International Open and the John Deere Classic, there is still plenty of excitement and anticipation for the rest of the golfing season.
In the upcoming 2025 BMW International Open, there's a possibility that Ewen Ferguson, the defending champion, might shift from his renowned success to a disappointing miss of the cut, just like other top players who have experienced struggles this season.
Meanwhile, sports enthusiasts eagerly follow the game of golf, and some professionals like Jason Day and Tom Kim, who both missed the cut at the John Deere Classic this year, are part of that intriguing narrative.
