Spieth, Stenson miss Houston cut


Jordan Spieth and Henrik Stenson, two of the leading contenders for next week's US Masters, have both missed the cut at the Houston Open.

Sun Kang sets the pace after a blistering second round of 63 sent him six shots clear of the field on 16 under par.

Another pair of Masters candidates, Rickie Fowler and Justin Rose, endured mixed fortunes on Friday; three late dropped strokes saw the former slip to -9, seven behind Kang, while Rose signed for a messy 71 which leaves him 10 shots off-the-pace.

South Korean Kang, who is ranked outside the top 200 in the world rankings, will grab the last place in the Masters with a victory this weekend and he has a huge chance after a red-hot putting display, which featured several putts sunk from outside 20 feet.

The highlight was a 30-foot putt which Kang drained for eagle at the eighth, his 17th hole of the day.

Hudson Swafford and Russell Henley carded 67s for the second day in succession to lie in joint second place on -10 with Fowler one behind after a sloppy finish to his round saw him drop three strokes.

Phil Mickelson just about made the weekend after a 72 left him on the cut-line of level par.

Spieth and Stenson are joined by 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott in having the weekend off after the Australian slumped to a second round of 77 - a score matched by Spieth - to miss the cut by a shot.
