Ted Potter's back and he made it into the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the PGA Tour's team event at the TPC Louisiana in Avondale. Ted's partner was little-known Alejandro Tosti, and they shot a 6-under-par 66 in Thursday's first round, five strokes off the pace behind four teams who posted 11-under 61s, including the power duo of Rory McIlroy and Steve Lowry. 

    But the partnership fell short as Ted and Tosti shot even-par 72 on Friday and remained at 6 under; it took 9-under to make the cut to continue play on the weekend. 

    Ted had played in just one previous event in 2024, the Puerto Rico Open in March, and he missed the cut despite shooting 2 under par (72-70) 142. Ted has been stuck at $6,194,109 in career money for several months now after losing his exempt status.

    The Gator team of Billy Horschel and Tyson Alexander also missed the cut with 67-73-140, 4 under par. Horschel was coming off a victory in the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic where he shot 67-69-66-63-265, 23 under par, and two strokes better than Wesley Bryan. Billy collected $720,000, ballooning his career total to $36,692,854. He picked up 300 FedEx Cup points. Tyson shot 69-70-69-75-283, 5 under, and tied for 55th, good for a check for $9,280. A mini tour player just two years ago, Tyson has now banked $1,772,017.
