HAMILTON, Ontario – Weekend plans? 

The field of 156, whittled to 154 with two withdrawals after the first round, was trimmed some more on Friday after 36 holes. It took shooting even-par 140 for 36 holes to be one of the 69 players to advance to the weekend. Kudos to Maverick McNealy, who bounced back from an opening-round 74 to shoot 65 on Friday.

While some fan favorites such as Rory McIlroy managed to secure a weekend tee time, others weren’t so fortunate. Among the biggest losses had to be the defending champion Nick Taylor, who ended the 69-year drought without a victory by a Canadian in his national championship a year ago. 

Others on the struggle bus this week include RBC ambassadors Sahith Theegala and Cameron Young, proving once again that the cut shows no favorites. There were a record 28 Canadians in the field to start the RBC Canadian Open but only eight remain with a chance to make it back-to-back native sons to hoist the trophy.
