Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Tyler Duncan has missed the cut at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic after finishing two rounds of play with a total score of 1-over 143. The Columbus North graduate shot an even-par 71 in the second round, following a 72 in the first round. The cut line for the tournament was set at 2-under 140, which means Duncan fell short by three strokes, preventing him from competing in the final rounds.
Currently tied for the lead in the tournament are Mackenzie Hughes and Cristobal Del Solar, both of whom have recorded impressive scores of 10-under 132. Their consistent performances have put them in a solid position as the tournament progresses at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
In an exciting highlight during the pro-am event earlier in the week, celebrity Patrick Marino achieved his second-ever hole-in-one on the 12th hole, while playing alongside actor Kevin Costner. The pro-am featured around 20 celebrities, including well-known figures such as Kurt Russell, Rob Riggle, Michael Chiklis, David Arquette, Nick Swisher, and Jennie Garth. Notably, while actor Bill Murray made an appearance at the course, he did not participate in the pro-am competition.
ONEflight International CEO Ferren Rajput has expressed an interest in continuing to blend celebrity entertainment with the professional tournament scene in future events. In addition to its sponsorship, ONEflight is also enhancing the tournament experience for players, offering incentives such as a five-hour flight credit for the top 50 finishers.
The Myrtle Beach Classic is not only focusing on competitive gameplay but is also evolving into a dynamic entertainment event. A new trophy designed by Bryan Rapp from Brookgreen Gardens has been introduced, adding a distinctive touch to the tournament’s honor system.
Winners of both the Myrtle Beach Classic and the Truist Championship will earn an automatic qualification into the PGA Championship, provided they are not already qualified. This incentive is likely to heighten the competitive spirit among participants.
It is worth noting that several notable players withdrew from the Myrtle Beach Classic prior to the tournament. Among them were professional golfers Patrick Rodgers, Lucas Glover, and Webb Simpson, adjusting the dynamics and competitive landscape of the tournament.
The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic is being showcased on the Golf Channel, with broadcasts planned for the opening round as well as subsequent rounds. Golf enthusiasts can tune in to follow the action and see how the remaining competitors fare as they vie for victory in this exciting event.
