Scheffler's early departure came after he failed to convert a six-foot putt for par on his final hole, the par-three ninth, leaving him at level par for the tournament following a two-over round of 72. While the missed cut provides Scheffler an opportunity to scout Royal Birkdale, a course new to him, he stated it was “a little different to what I was planning” and not ideal preparation for his upcoming Claret Jug defence. Elsewhere in the tournament, Jordan Smith delivered an impressive round of 63, featuring four successive birdies, to reach nine under par, one shot ahead of fellow Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick. Matt Fitzpatrick also produced a superb 65, including five successive birdies, to sit at eight under par, while Jon Rahm made a significant recovery with a second-round 65 to make the cut.
