On Friday, Guan was penalized for slow-play, prompting a buzz throughout the golf world and traditional and social media. He handled it well and was the only amateur to make the cut after Round 2.

Cal's Michael Weaver shot rounds of 78-74 and missed the mark by four shots. He gained entry to The Masters with a runner- up finish at the U.S. Amateur.

T.J. Vogel, the reigning U.S. Public Links champion, was also four shots out after rounds of 77-75.

Nathan Smith, in his third Masters start after his record fourth U.S. Mid-Am championship, missed the cut after rounds of 77-78.

Smith was two shots better than reigning U.S. Amateur winner Steven Fox, who struggled Friday with an 81 after a first-round 76.

Alan Dunbar, who earned his Masters berth by winning the 2012 British Amateur, shot rounds of 83-77.
