Brooks Koepka fell short at the WM Phoenix Open, failing to survive the cut after a 75‑round Thursday and a 69 on Friday. Meanwhile, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler surged with a flawless 65, keeping his streak of 66 consecutive PGA Tour cuts alive. Japanese rookie Ryo Hisatsune now tops the leaderboard at TPC Scottsdale.

Hideki Matsuyama flashed a seven‑under 64 on the front nine, stringing six birdies before Hisatsune eclipsed him with an eight‑under 63 to sit at 11‑under. England’s Matthew Fitzpatrick and John Parry sit four strokes back at seven‑under, while Si Woo Kim posted a nine‑under 62, keeping the field tightly packed.

Koepka’s early exit marks a disappointing return from LIV Golf, leaving him two‑over after 36 holes and questioning his form ahead of the season’s next swing. Scheffler eyes his 20th PGA Tour victory and a second 2026 title, while Hisatsune aims to convert his lead into a breakthrough win.
