The RSM Classic: Indian-American golfer Sahith Theegala fired five birdies in the last six holes but still fell one short of the cut line at the RSM Classic, the final event of the Fall season of the PGA Tour. His first round of even par 70 at the Seaside course was followed by 6-under 66 at the Plantation course.

The 27-year-old Theegala, who has won two titles as a pro so far, ended on 6-under for two rounds, but the cut fell at 7-under, and he missed out by one stroke. He had a best-ever ranking of World No. 11 in the world rankings on June 9, 2024.

Andrew Novak took advantage of more benign weather on Friday and the absence of the pressure facing so many others in the PGA TOUR's season finale. He had a 7-under 65 on the Plantation Course at Sea Island to take a one-shot lead into the weekend.
