Patrick Reed made the cut at the DP World India Championship, sitting right on the projected line after two rounds. Play got suspended due to darkness with half the field still finishing their second round, so that projection could shift once everyone completes their rounds.
Reed's position underscores how tight things got at this event. He's not cruising through. He's grinding to stay in the tournament, which means his weekend depends on correcting whatever didn't work in rounds one and two.
Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm's rounds were among those halted by darkness. Neither player finished their second rounds, so their scores remain incomplete. When play resumes, both will need to wrap up before moving into round three, which adds an unusual rhythm to their preparation.
Weather delays in tournament golf always create chaos for positioning. Players on the course when darkness fell get a brief reset. Those still waiting deal with extended downtime. By the time everyone's cards are signed, the leaderboard could look completely different.
For Reed specifically, the cut line is no place to build momentum heading into weekend rounds. He'll need to turn things around fast or risk missing out entirely.
