Did he see any progress?Not really, McIlroy said Friday after missing the cut by bogeying the par-5 18th hole, which played as the easiest hole on the course.McIlroy had to par the hole to make it to the weekend, but it was really his struggles on the greens that prevented him from playing better.My tee-to-green game, theres not much wrong with that, he said. Its pretty solid. Driving the ball well, hitting good iron shots ... I think if you had given anyone else in this field my tee shots this week, they would have been up near the top of the leaderboard. It just shows you how bad I was around the greens.Ive hit the ball really well this week and Im walking away not playing the weekkend.dddddddddddd Its really disheartening. As I said, I need to go back to the drawing board and see where we go from here.The cut came at 146, 2-over-par. Among other notable players to miss were U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and Matt Kuchar.McIlroy, who won the 2012 and 2014 PGAs and has captured four major championships, took 35 putts in an opening-round 74, then had 30 on Friday, when he shot 69. He ranked third through two rounds in strokes gained off the tee, but just 152nd out of 156 players in strokes gained putting.McIlroy, who is skipping the Olympics in two weeks, now has some time off to ponder. He is not scheduled to play again until the Barclays, the first FedEx Cup playoff event on the PGA Tour, in three weeks. ' ' '
