July 10 (UPI) -- Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler was even par through two rounds at the 2026 Scottish Open and is on track to miss is first cut in nearly four years.

Scheffler, who was 2-under through his first 18 holes, carded a 2-over 72 on Friday at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick. The projected cut is 2-under.

"I got off to a poor start," Scheffler told reporters. "Then, after that, I just didn't really hit it close enough to give myself a bunch of looks. That's how you shoot over par."

Scheffler made two birdies and four bogeys over his final 18 holes of the tournament. He made four birdies, including a run of three-consecutive, and two bogies in Thursday's opening round.
