With more than 78 players making the 36-hole cut, a 54-hole cut will take place (low 70 and ties). That is the lowest cut in relation to par since the 2015 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, which was also 5-under. Mackenzie Hughes In his first appearance at The RSM Classic, Mackenzie Hughes followed up a career low 61 with a 5-under 67 on Friday to build a two-shot lead over fellow rookie Cheng Tsung Pan. Beginning on the back nine of the Plantation Course, he parred the first four holes before reeling off birdies on Nos. 14, 16, 18, 4, and 5 to finish off a bogey- free round. Hughes’ 14-under 128 is two shots better in relation to par than Billy Horschel’s previous tournament record from 2011.
