Par Golf Needed to Make Cut at Kemper Open
Phil Rodgers trimmed his life and his putter to prove a change works. He tied for 13th at the 1458 Open after a 70, then led Kemper Open after day one with Masters champ George Archer, one stroke ahead of several notables at Quail Hollow. The field of 144 will be cut to the last 67 and ties. If scores match Thursday, even par will likely miss the cut.
