  "account": "The 2026 World Wide Technology Championship concluded on Saturday morning after the second round, leaving a handful of golfers to watch the rest of the FedEx Cup Fall series. Among the notable players who missed the cut were Ben James, who was leading the leaderboard with a 15-under score, and Tony Finau, who had birdied his final hole to reach 6 under. Other players who knew they wouldn't be playing the weekend included Garrick Higgo, who shot a 4-under total but finished 115th in SG: Approach and proximity to the hole, and Christiaan Bezuidenhout, who also fell short of the cut despite finishing 4-under. The pressure was on for golfers like Joe Highsmith, who had three consecutive missed cuts, and Billy Horschel, whose scorecard was anything but ordinary with a 43-29 double bogey round.",
  "summary": "The game-within-the-game in the FedEx Cup Fall is making the top 100 for 2027 and missing the cut is never a good thing.",
