Five top names who missed the cut at the John Deere Classic
1) Daniel Berger

2) Nick Dunlap

Matt Kuchar also shot 69 and 70 over the two days at TPC Deere Run but missed his 11th cut of the season. However, this was his first missed cut in the past four starts.
4) Harry Higgs
Harry Higgs had a rough start to the week with a 1-over 72 on Thursday. He made an effort with a 4-under 67 in the second round. However, a lack of birdies in the last six holes cost him the cut. This was his first start since the US Open.
5) Maverick McNealy
Maverick McNealy had a strong start at the John Deere Classic, shooting 4-under 67 in the first round. However, he struggled on Day 2 with a 4-over 75 that featured two bogeys, two double bogeys, and just a couple of birdies.
