Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri added a 1-under 71 to his first round 73 and missed the cut at the PGA Tour’s season-opening Safeway Open here.
Lahiri had four birdies against one bogey and one double, but needed something much lower than 71 to ensure weekend action, as the cut went at 3-under.
Lahiri missed at least three putts at seven feet or less and that hurt him a lot.
Meanwhile, Brandt Snedeker birdied the final two holes for a 7-under 65, gaining a three-stroke lead over Phil Mickelson and two others.
Snedeker had eight birdies and a bogey — a 12-under 132 total.
In August this year, Snedeker won the Wyndham Championship opening with a 59 while taking his ninth PGA Tour title.
Mickelson followed his opening 65 with a 69 to join Michael Thompson (65) and Ryan Moore (67) at 10 under and they were Tied-2nd.
The 48-year-old Mickelson bogeyed three of his first eight holes but rallied with four birdies on his second nine.
First-round leader Sepp Straka followed his opening 63 with a 72 to drop into a tie for fifth at 9-under with Kevin Tway (67) and Sungjae Im (69).
Defending champion Brendan Steele is T-24 after 67-71.
