Summary

Round 2 of the Safeway Open is in the books. On today’s episode of The First Cut we’re chatting about… Leader Sam Burns holds two shots over the next competitor. He’s a proven winner on the Korn Ferry Tour, is ready for a first PGA Tour win (0:55)? Harry Higgs is golf twitter’s darling son. He gave the community a great gift today when he made albatross to close out his round to move into solo 2nd. Is that amazing shot going to be a reason to be skeptical when it comes to betting him this weekend (4:43)? Jordan Spieth was on pace to make the cut until he reached his final hole of the day, that’s when a double bogey sent him home early. What needs to change for the former No. 1 player in the world to return back to golf’s upper echelon (10:24). Phil Mickelson cobbled together a made cut after looking a little shaky on Thursday. With roughly 30% of fairways hit, it’s safe to assume his game won’t hold up at Winged Foot. That still isn’t stopping one bettor from dropping $45,000 wager on Lefty to win next week (17:00). We wrap by taking a look toward the third round and determining our favorite picks for the weekend (22:50). ————————— Check us out on YouTube for video podcasts and exclusive content, visit https://www.youtube.com/FirstCutPodcast 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
