Daly has never finished better than 16th in 12 appearances here.
LOVE STAYS
Just like Tiger Woods, defending champion Davis Love knew he'd have to play well to stick around for the weekend.
He made it, but not by much.
With his back feeling better than it did at the start of play on Thursday, Love shot 68 to finish at 1 over and make the cut with a shot to spare.
"I wouldn't say I kicked it into another gear," he said. "I just went back to playing the way I'd been playing."
Love, who made five birdies including one off a chip in from the sand trap on No. 6, said it was easier without having to worry about his back. He hurt himself hitting on the driving range before the first round and never got into a flow, always fearing an awkward swing would cause the injury to flare up. He spent Thursday afternoon getting a massage and stretching, and that eased his pain.
Happy to be feeling better, Love still didn't think making the cut was much to celebrate.
"It's a little disappointing," he said. "Yeah, I'll get to play the weekend. But I wanted to at least get to under par and have a chance."
