Round up: GMac out, Spanish Alps, Le Weekend

Graeme McDowell acknowledges fans after a late chip-in

PGA Tour - Graeme McDowell's form looks far from ideal heading into the final major of the season after he missed the cut by five shots in the RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey.

Six birdies in rounds of 75 and 76 sound reasonable but a tally of 11 bogeys and a double is hardly the form that's going to send Darren Clarke scuttling for the wildcards if required.

Poor from tee to green, the 36-year old has work to do to be ready to challenge at Baltusrol next week.

As for the lead, Dustin Johnson and Luke List went 66-71 to lead by one from Jon Rahm, Kelly Kraft and amateur Jared du Toit. Scores
