Beau Hossler is the player to catch at the Wyndham Championship leaderboard after 36 holes, taking a one-shot lead into the weekend at 12-under Friday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. Hossler backed up an opening-round 61 with a 67 to sit atop the PGA Tour's regular-season finale as players fought for playoff positioning and survival on the cutline.
The second round ended with some movement and a weather delay. Officials suspended play just before 5:30 p.m. ET because of inclement weather, then players returned to the course after a 34-minute delay. By the end of the day, the weekend cutline settled at 3 under.
Who made and missed the cut
The cutline at 3 under left several notable names outside the weekend field, including Jason Day and Ben Griffin. The tournament's position on the calendar made every stroke matter, with many golfers trying to protect their place in the FedEx Cup Playoffs picture.
Hossler's current margin is slim, but the scorecard through two rounds is enough to make him the clear leader entering the weekend. A 12-under total in a par-70 event played at 7,131 yards is a strong position, especially in a week where the pressure is tied not just to the trophy, but to the season's broader stakes.
The Wyndham Championship has been part of the PGA Tour calendar at Sedgefield Country Club since 2008, after Kris Spence extensively restored the course in 2007. Sedgefield itself opened in 1926, and the track has become a familiar finish-point for the regular season. On Friday, it once again set the stage for a crowded leaderboard and a cut that kept the field honest.
With two rounds left to play, Hossler leads by one shot, and the next 36 holes will decide whether he can turn that narrow advantage into a win at the Wyndham Championship leaderboard.
