Thompson Extends Cuts Made Streak

by Roz Roberts III

After two rounds in the 60's at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in Mexico, Michael Thompson has extended his cuts made streak to all four events he has competed in during the 2015-2016 PGA Tour season.  If you add last year's PGA Tour season and the Web.com Tour Finals events Michael played in at the end of last year, he has made the cut in eight straight events.  At the OHL Classic, Michael is eight under par after the first two rounds and is tied for tenth.

Due to expected inclement weather in the afternoon, the OHL Classic will start earlier than normal for Saturday's third round.  Michael tees off from the first hole with Will Wilcox and Camillo Villegas at 8:20am ET

A pair of five under par 67's in the first two rounds of the Sanderson Farms Championship have Michael Thompson tied for 4th as round two is finishing up Saturday morning.  Rain on Friday delayed round two and ultimately only half the field was able to complete their rounds.

Rain has also caused delays Saturday morning.  Once round two is complete, a cut will be made and round 3 tee times will be assigned.  We will post an update on Michael's round 3 tee time when it becomes available.  He won't be able to finish his third round until Sunday morning.

Update: Michael's tee time for round 3 has been set. He's teeing off at 2:50 with Brian Davis and Patrick Rodgers
