McIlroy Makes Cut at Weather-Hit Houston Open

Rory McIlroy managed to make the cut at the Texas Children's Houston Open after a challenging start, closing his second round with three birdies in the final four holes to finish at 4-under-par 136. McIlroy, currently the world number two, was relieved to complete his round before play was suspended due to darkness following a weather delay. He remains seven shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler, who tied the course record with an 8-under-par 62. Scheffler, the world number one, is eyeing his first win of the season ahead of his Masters defense. The tournament faced disruption due to weather, prompting an incomplete second round and an anxious wait for players like Séamus Power to see if they would make the cut. In contrast, Pádraig Harrington failed to advance, finishing at 5-over-par 145.
