After missing the cut in New Orleans at the rain-plagued Zurich Classic, Ted Potter will await the birth of his second child close enough to Ocala to get home in a hurry, in Charlotte, N. C. Ted is among the entrants in the $7.9 million Wells Fargo Championship at the Quail Hollow Club. 

    Ted and partner Nate Lashley shot 65 in the opening round in New Orleans, but skied to 77 in round 2, that featured the alternate shot format. They were 2 under par, six strokes off the cut line.

    Jon Rahm and Ryan Palmer won with a score of 262, 26 under par. Sergio Garcia and Tommy Fleetwood finished three strokes behind at 23 under. 

    Players from Florida and Florida State were prominent in the event, with a tie for 22nd the worst finish for any of them. Gator Matt Every and Kyoung-Hoon Lee tied for third at 21 under par, along with Gator Brian Gay and Rory Sabbatini. Seminole rookie Hank Lebioda continued his good play, tieing for fifth with Curtis Luck as his partner. The defending champs, Gator Billy Horschel and Scott Piercy, tied for 13th at 18 under, and Seminole Brooks Koepka and his brother Chase tied for 22nd at 16 under.
