As Justin Rose set one record at the Farmers Insurance Open on Friday, another one came to an end.
Rose, in bursting into a four-shot lead, broke his own 36-hole scoring record at Torrey Pines to lead the tournament by four shots on -17.
The longest active made cut streak on the PGA Tour has come to an end.
Playing on the North Course, Schauffele missed a birdie putt on his final hole of the second round at Torrey Pines to miss the cut by one stroke,.
Missing the number by a single shot is something that will frustrate any player, but for the World No. 6 it ended his remarkable streak of 72 straight cuts made, a period of 1,391 days.
It’s bound to be a strange feeling for the 32-year-old, who hadn’t missed a cut since the Masters in 2022, when he posted rounds of 74 and 77 at Augusta.

“I don’t like switching stuff and I switched, and then when you switch back, things kind of feel weird,” he said.
“You start swinging to fit the club and it kind of affects like everything down the bag. So not a great place to do it.”
On the bright side, Schauffele, who grew up in the area, said he was looking forward to spending the free weekend with his family.
“Obviously I don’t like missing cuts, I think my record proves that, but it’s actually kind of nice, to be honest, if I was going to pick a spot,” he said.
“I get to hang out with my family. If I miss the cut in Charlotte or somewhere, I would just be sitting in a hotel room by…
