AUGUSTA, ⁠Georgia, April 10 (Reuters) - LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau ⁠headlined the list of players who missed the ‌cut at the Masters on Friday after the two-times U.S. Open champion carded a costly triple-bogey on the final ​hole at Augusta National.

DeChambeau reached the ⁠par-four 18th one ⁠shot inside the four-over par cut line but needed ⁠two ‌shots to get out of a greenside bunker before carding a seven that ⁠ended his week.

DeChambeau, who briefly held the ​lead early in ‌the final round of last year's Masters, ⁠had arrived ​at the year's first major fresh off two consecutive wins on the LIV Golf circuit but was ⁠unable to transfer that form to ​Augusta National.

Other notables to miss the cut were 2025 U.S. Open winner J.J. Spaun, former British Open ⁠champion Cameron Smith of LIV, and a pack of former Masters champions including Danny Willett Bubba Watson, Zach Johnson, Fred Couples, Jose Maria Olazabal, ​Mike Weir, Vijay Singh, and ⁠Angel Cabrera.

According to Augusta National, 54 players, including competitors ​from 15 different countries, made ‌the 36-hole cut from a ​starting field of 91.
