Kelvin Hernandez, playing in his second consecutive Puerto Rico Open on the PGA Tour, shot another 72 Friday to finish at even-par 144 after the first two rounds, missing the cut.
The UNC Greensboro sophomore, who last year become the first Spartan player to play in the NCAA Championship, had earned a spot in the field through a local qualifying event over his winter break.
Despite the solid performance, Hernandez was five shots from making the cut. He also missed the cut in 2024.
The second-leader is Rasmus-Neergaard Peterson at 15-under with rounds of 64 and 65. The $4-million tournament is taking place while the Tour’s top players compete in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
