Patrick Reed heads into the weekend sitting right on the cut line at the DP World India Championship after the second round got suspended due to darkness. Officials halted play with half the field still on the course, leaving Reed's position precarious as the tournament continues.
Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm's rounds were also left incomplete when darkness stopped play. The staggered restart means final positions won't be locked until the second round concludes Friday. Reed's current standing puts him in a vulnerable spot. He'll need to either improve his position when play resumes or watch others ahead of him stumble to safely make the cut.
The darkness stoppage created an unusual situation for the field. Some players finished their rounds under normal conditions. Others face an early morning restart to complete their second 18 holes. This uneven scenario has happened before on tour, but it never makes the cut line any less stressful for those on the bubble.
Reed has battled inconsistency this season. His proximity to the cut line reflects a player fighting to stay relevant in a loaded field. The weekend will tell us whether he can push through and post a competitive number or if his tournament ends Friday.
