Voges Fires 71 on Second Day but Fails to Make Open Cut
Mitch Voges of Simi Valley, one of two amateurs in the field of 143 golfers, shot an even-par 71 Friday but failed to qualify for the final two rounds of the Los Angeles Open at the Riviera Country Club.
Voges, 42, who won the 1991 U.S. Amateur championship, shot a 77 the first day and finished with a 36-hole total of 148, missing the cut by seven strokes. Tiger Woods of Anaheim, at 16 the youngest player to compete in a PGA tournament, shot a second-round 75 and finished at 147.
Steve Pate, who was born in Ventura, and his former UCLA teammate Duffy Waldorf of Valencia qualified for the final two rounds. Pate, the winner of last week’s San Diego Open, is tied with 18 others at two-under par.
Waldorf, who tied for ninth in last year’s L.A. Open, fired a five-under-par 66 to make the cut by one stroke.
