Bryson DeChambeau, Garrick Higgo miss PGA cut while Rory rallies
May 15, 2026; Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, USA; Bryson DeChambeau plays his shot on the seventh tee during the second round of the PGA Championship golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — It was too little and far too late for Bryson DeChambeau to get it going at the end of his Friday round at the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club.
DeChambeau made just one birdie Thursday and one birdie through his first 15 holes Friday — both came at the mild, par-5 ninth — before he rolled in birdies at Nos. 16, 17 and 18 to finish his round and his tournament.
The two-time major winner shot a 71 but missed the cut by three strokes at 7 over, after his 6-over 76 in the first round put him too far behind the 8-ball.
DeChambeau has now missed the cut at three of the past four majors, and while he sits second in the LIV Golf season standings, he is not close to his best self at these stringent tests of golf. He opened the Masters with a 76 en route to missing the cut, and his first-round 76 this week was his worst score at a PGA Championship in his career.
On an Aronimink setup with pin locations Scottie Scheffler described as “absurd,” DeChambeau ranked 153rd out of 156 golfers in strokes gained around the green. At the 11th hole in the first round, he tapped a putt from just off the green and watched it roll all the way down to 57 feet away, 27 feet further than where he started. At the 10th on Friday, he had a chip not make it onto the shelf of the green and roll back down toward him — though he managed to chip in for par on the next swing.
DeChambeau did not meet with the media either before the tournament or after either of his rounds.
Garrick Higgo of South Africa will be kicking himself after missing the cut by one shot.
Higgo made headlines Thursday when he was less than a minute late to his first-round tee time and incurred a two-stroke penalty. He still managed to shoot a 1-under 69, which would have been a 67 and tied him for the lead had he avoided the penalty.
But on Friday, Higgo made his tee time but crashed back down in a 6-over 76. He needed to make an eagle putt at the par-5 ninth, his final hole, to make the cut on the number but missed it narrowly to his left.
Had Higgo not been penalized, he would be at 3 over and preparing for the weekend; instead, he’s 5 over and packing his things.
The best player in terms of world ranking to miss the cut was Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, whose Friday round of 73 included a messy double bogey at the par-3 14th.
Fleetwood was joined at 5 over by Wyndham Clark, Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, South Korea’s Sungjae Im and PGA professional Michael Block, who became a fan favorite at the 2023 PGA Championship where he tied for 15th. Block opened this week with a 70 but stumbled to a 75 Friday.
U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun (6 over) has missed the first two major cuts of the year. Also heading home are Keegan Bradley (6 over), Norway’s Viktor Hovland (6 over), England’s Tyrrell Hatton (6 over) and Max Homa (12 over).
Rory McIlroy was in the danger zone after an opening 74 that he described simply as “s–.” But the six-time major winner from Northern Ireland rebounded in style with a bogey-free 67 to move up to 1 over, just five back of leaders Maverick McNealy and Alex Smalley and well inside the cut line.
“It’s been hard to make birdies out there because obviously, one, the wind the last couple days, but also where they have put these hole locations, I feel like they have really tried to protect the course the first couple of days,” McIlroy said. “So it seems like they have used up a lot of the really hard ones.”
McIlroy’s driving accuracy was only slightly better Friday, as he made 8 of 14 fairways in regulation rather than 5 of 14, but he stayed away from trouble while making a 12 1/2-foot birdie putt at the second, a 7-footer at the fourth and a 10-footer at the 12th.
“At five back I do feel like I’m right in the tournament,” he said, “and that’s really what I wanted to do today was to just get myself back in it, and I feel like I’ve done that.”

Luca Langoni, Revolution edge Minnesota United
May 2, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; New England Revolution forward Luca Langoni (41) looks on in the first half against Charlotte FC at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Edward Finan-Imagn Images Luca Langoni scored early in the second half and the New England Revolution held on to defeat visiting Minnesota United 2-1 on Saturday night at Foxborough, Mass.
Carles Gil posted a penalty kick for New England (8-4-1, 25 points), which improved to 7-1-0 in home games. Three of goalkeeper Matt Turner’s six saves for the Revolution came in the final 10 minutes and they all were off Minnesota headers.
Langoni, who did not play in a 3-0 home shutout loss to Nashville SC on Wednesday, has scored in consecutive matches and picked up his third goal of the season. New England has won a club-record six consecutive games at Gillette Stadium before Wednesday’s setback.
Minnesota (6-5-3, 21 points) received its goal on Kelvin Yeboah’s penalty kick. Drake Callender stopped three shots.
Langoni’s goal in the 49th minute came at the end of a transition opportunity off an assist from Dor Turgeman, who made a slight pass to Langoni. As he entered the box, Langoni unleashed a shot from the right side.
The teams traded penalty kicks in the first 30 minutes in the first meeting between the teams since 2023.
Gil converted on his chance five minutes into the game. Yeboah’s equalizer came in the 26th minute.
New England’s opportunity came because of a foul in the penalty area by Minnesota’s Michael Boxall just a couple of minutes into the game. Then a foul on New England’s Brooklyn Raines provided Yeboah’s opportunity.

Atlanta scores late to pull even in draw vs. Orlando
May 16, 2026; Orlando, Florida, USA; Atlanta United FC forward Emmanuel Latte Lath (9) moves up field in the second half against the Orlando City SC at Inter&Co Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Russell Lansford-Imagn Images Jay Fortune’s 86th-minute goal cancelled out Griffin Dorsey’s first-half opener as visiting Atlanta United played Orlando City to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night.
Fortune’s goal, his second in as many matches, secured a point for Atlanta (3-8-2, 11 points) and snapped its two-match losing streak at home.
With just minutes to go in normal time, Atlanta — who appeared destined for a second straight loss — pulled level. Matt Edwards used some brilliant footwork on the right side of the Orlando scoring area before passing it into the box to Fortune. Fortune’s first-time effort sailed over Orlando goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau to make it 1-1.
Atlanta had a chance to take all three points from Orlando in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time, but Crepeau dove to parry away Matias Galarza’s attempt from just beyond the box.
That provided some consolation for Orlando (4-8-2, 14 points), who opened the scoring in the 18th minute.
Martin Ojeda’s pass between the legs of Atlanta centerback Enea Mihaj found Ivan Angulo charging into the scoring area. Despite Tomas Jacob’s attempts to defend, Angulo passed the ball in front of the goal to Dorsey, who tapped it in to give Orlando a 1-0 lead. It was Dorsey’s second goal of the season.
Orlando City had several opportunities to extend its lead but failed to capitalize, ultimately settling for a point after conceding Fortune’s late goal. They were also forced to take Robin Jansson out at halftime after the Orlando centerback and captain appeared to suffer a knee injury.
Angulo was credited with an assist on Dorsey’s goal, which was his team-high seventh of the season. Edwards’ assist on Fortune’s goal was his first of the year.
Orlando and Atlanta will play each other again on Tuesday in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals.

Dodgers LHP Blake Snell scratched from start vs. Angels
May 9, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell (7) throws to the plate during the second inning against the Atlanta Braves at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Dodgers left-hander Blake Snell was scratched from his Friday start hours before the opener of the Freeway Series against the Angels in Anaheim.
The Dodgers didn’t immediately provide a reason for why the 33-year-old Snell was scratched. Manager Dave Roberts will meet with reporters prior to Friday’s game.
The Dodgers are now listing right-hander Will Klein (1-2, 2.76 ERA) to be the first pitcher in what will be a bullpen game.
The contest was slated to be Snell’s second appearance of the season. His season got off to a late start due to shoulder issues and he made his season debut last Saturday against the Atlanta Braves.
Snell struggled against the Braves as he allowed five runs (four earned) and six hits while throwing 77 pitches in just three innings. He struck out five and walked two while taking the loss.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner was limited to 11 starts last season due to a shoulder injury and went 5-4 with a 2.35 ERA in his first season with the Dodgers. In the postseason, he went 3-2 with a 3.18 ERA in six appearances (five starts) to help the Dodgers win the World Series.
Snell is 81-63 with a 3.17 ERA in 223 career starts over 11 major league seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays (2016-20), San Diego Padres (2021-23), San Francisco Giants (2024) and Dodgers.
Snell won the American League Cy Young with the Rays in 2018 and took National League honors in 2023 for the Padres.
