Round 2 of the Texas Children’s Houston Open is currently underway at the Memorial Golf Course. The tournament is regarded as one of the lead-up events to the season’s first major, the Masters, making it pretty important for the golfers. This year’s Houston Open had an intriguing field of 133 golfers, with just 65 slated to compete over the weekend.
Although Round 2 is still underway, some players are on the verge of missing the cut for the next two rounds. Here are the five big golfers who may miss the cut at the 2026 Texas Children’s Houston Open:
5 golfers who can miss the cut at the Texas Children’s Houston Open
#5 Wyndham Clark
Wyndham Clark is one of the most successful golfers on the PGA Tour, but his campaign at the Memorial Golf Course has been in the opposite direction. Clark did not have a decent first round, and while he has yet to begin his second round, there are concerns that he will miss the cut at the 2026 Houston Open. The golfer produced a 4-over round on the opening day, tying him for 118th place. The expected cut for the tournament is -1, implying that he will need a strong round to participate in the weekend game.
#4 Ryan Fox
Ryan Fox is one of the golfers who will take part in the 2026 Masters. He qualified for the tournament with a 45th-place ranking in the Official World Golf Rankings. Despite the huge competition ahead, Fox struggled in the first round of the 2026 Texas Children’s Houston Open, shooting 2 over par. Fox is now tied for 106th place, and he, too, will need a strong round if he hopes to make the cut and play in the next two rounds.
#3 Lucas Glover
Lucas Glover is currently placed 84th in the Official World Golf Rankings, indicating that he is among the greatest players on the planet. Despite that, his performance in the Texas Children’s Houston Open has fallen short of expectations, and Glover will almost certainly miss the cut. He shot 7 over par in his first round and is currently through Hole 13 in his second round, with a total score of 10 over par, indicating that he will most likely miss the cut.
#2 Billy Horschel
Billy Horschel, like Glover, is ranked among the top 100 golfers in the OWGR. But likewise, he is also one of the bottom golfers on the 2026 Houston Open leaderboard, with a total score of 3 over par. Horschel had a solid opening round at even par, but his second round has been a roller coaster. As of this writing, he has also completed 13 holes and has a total score of 3 over par, pushing him farther down the leaderboard and making the cut appear unattainable for him.
#1 Brooks Koepka
Despite his experienced status, Brooks Koepka has failed terribly at the 2026 Texas Children’s Houston Open. During the first round, Koepka recorded three enormous double bogeys, finishing with a total score of five over par. As of this writing, he has completed 15 holes in Round 2 and has yet to post a strong score, making the weekend game at the Memorial Golf Course impossible for Koepka this season.
