And such is the case outside of Dallas, where more than half the field at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson is closing their trunks in dismay. How is finishing 5 under not good enough?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s shocking. But 6 under was the number at TPC Craig Ranch, marking the lowest 36-hole cut on Tour this season.<\/p>\n<p>Si Woo Kim shot 60 Friday \u2014 with a bogey at the last \u2014 to lead by five shots at 18 under. Sungjae Im and Jackson Suber had 61s. Jordan Spieth, Max Greyserman and Tom Hoge shot 62; Taylor Moore did the same Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything was perfect, other than the last hole. I\u2019ll still take it,\u201d Kim said. \u201cSixty is hard, but I was a little bit of thinking about the 59 after I make that on 17. It was a little bit of like adrenalin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wrong side of 65<\/p>\n<p>Shooting 65 should be worthy of celebration, right? Not for Nick Dunlap and William Sides who missed the cut despite going 6 under and bogey-free on their respective back nines.<\/p>\n<p>But such is the story this week at the Byron Nelson.<\/p>\n<p>Also missing the cut were Michael Thorbjornsen (5 under) and Haotong Li (5 under).<\/p>\n<p>    <a class=\"Link\" aria-label=\"THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson - Rd 3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.golfchannel.com\/watch\/live\/the-cj-cup-byron-nelson-rd-3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"Image for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson - Rd 3\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1779504970_553_.jpeg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The third round of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson is underway at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sixty-three &#8230; 62 &#8230; 61 &#8230; 60!
