It was a birdie fest at TPC River Highlands, with several rounds in the mid-to-low 60s and loads of exciting, highlight-reel shots.

This exit is especially tough for Hovland, who was coming off a solo third-place finish at the U.S. Open and seemed poised to make another strong showing. Currently ranked 22nd in the FedExCup standings, he remains in solid shape to reach the Playoffs and the TOUR Championship at East Lake.

Jason Day is seeking his first win since 2023, and he's in prime position to capture it after Friday. The 37-year-old from Australia shot 66 in each of the first two rounds at TPC River Highlands and sits in solo fourth, one back of the leaders.
