The Colonial Country Club, host of this week's Charles Schwab Challenge, was too big challenge for some of the favorites and surprisingly we won't see them during the weekend. The cut line was set at one over par and here is our list with three notable names who didn't match this score.
Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson is the star this week at Colonial CC because of his record breaking win at Kiawah Island last week. Everybody was still talking about Phil's impressive performance at the Ocean Course and wondered if he will keep the momentum. Lefty had a rough start of the tournament and posted first round 73, but it looks like this didn't disturb him at all.
Mickelson limited the damages in the second round when he played the course at one under par. He was going pretty well, but the two late bogeys on the 16th and the 18th dropped him back to two over par for the tournament, just a shot below the cut line.
Lee Westwood

World number twenty five Lee Westwood had pretty solid start of the year and after two runner-up finishes at The Players and Arnold Palmer Invitational it looked like he will be a serious factor on tour this year. However Westy didn't manage to keep the momentum and since the week at TPC Sawgrass he missed two cuts and had only one top 20 finish. I am pretty sure it is not only me who is surprised by Westwood's 75 and 69 in the first two rounds. I believe the Englishman hoped for better result too :)
Sungjae Im

Sungjae Im is one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour. The South Korean missed only three cuts in his last 26 starts prior this week. Im played the course at one over par in each of the first two days and sits at two over par alongside Mickelson.
