PGA Tour pro misses cut in funniest (and cruellest!) way imaginable

PGA Tour member Adam Svensson missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in perhaps the most amusing and cruellest way possible. 

The golfer began his second round on Torrey Pines' North Course and was safely within the cut line after hitting three birdies in a flawless front nine. 

But dropped shots at the second, sixth and seventh holes left the Canadian needing a birdie in his final two holes to sneak into the weekend. 

A birdie eluded him at the par-3 17th but he still had one final opportunity at the gettable par-5 9th. 

Svensson did the hard work and gave himself a glorious chance for a birdie with a beautiful approach from the rough.

The 31-year-old had approximately 10ft to make the cut and, just as he was making his stroke, a tournament official blew the horn to suspend play. 

Svensson ended up missing his attempt low. 

The commentator reminded the viewers that, of course, what transpired wasn't the fault of the rules officials. 

It has to be said that Svensson deserves a huge amount of credit for not losing his temper. 

Watch the moment here:

Notables who joined Svensson in missing the cut included Shane Lowry, Aaron Rai, Tony Finau and Justin Rose. 

Former champion Max Homa quit with three holes remaining of his second round. 

At the other end of the leaderboard, European Ryder Cup star Ludvig Aberg was tied for the lead on 6-under. 

The Swede hit a second round of 3-over 75 on the South Course after opening the event with a blistering 63. 

Aberg, 25, is chasing his second Tour win. 

His first came a few months after turning pro at the 2023 RSM Classic. 

"Glad I'm done," Aberg said after a brutally windy second round. 

"We knew it was going to be hard coming in. 

"Obviously the South course is pretty hard even when you play it in 75 and no wind at all. 

"Adding some 30-mile-an-hour gusts and sustained 15, it makes it pretty difficult. 

"Felt like we hung in there quite well and gave ourselves a chance over the weekend.

Aberg, who has backed calls to stage the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, added: "The greens were hard and they were tricky.

"But I'm proud of the way I fought and looking forward to the next couple days."
