The championship cut line would take the top 70 and ties.<\/p>\n<p>When the final scorecards closed out the round, Rudosky\u2019s total earned him a tie for 73rd, tantalizingly close to his first PGA-major cut.<\/p>\n<p>Much like he did on Day 1, Rudosky opened his round with four straight pars. A double bogey on the 14th (Rudosky\u2019s fifth hole of the day) dropped him to five over, and with plenty of work to keep himself in contention.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the charge. An immediate response on 15 \u2013 a birdie on the par 5 \u2013 followed by a bogey on 17 and birdie on 18 helped him salvage a 36. Then, steady on his second nine, Rudosky parred seven of the nine holes to accompany a birdie on the par 4 sixth hole.<\/p>\n<p>Six birdies on the difficult layout over the two days kept Rudosky in contention. His four-over total earned him the eighth-best total of the 35 club professionals who qualified for the event in late 2021.<\/p>\n<p>His second straight appearance in the Senior PGA Championship earned him a much higher finish than his 2021 effort at Southern Hills in Tulsa.<\/p>\n<p>His score tied him with a number of longtime PGA stalwarts, including Stuart Appleby and David Toms. New Zealand\u2019s Steven Alker (-16) fired an eight-under round of 63 on Sunday to surge to the title over Canada\u2019s Stephen Ames (-13).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>surges in second round<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[21,2261,28,29],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-40340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cortez","tag-golf","tag-headlines","tag-newsletter"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40340"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84624,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40340\/revisions\/84624"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40340"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=40340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
