Tacoma's Michael Putnam still hasn't finished his first round (2-under through 12 holes) at this week's Nationwide Tour stop – the Melwood Prince George's County Open in Maryland – and won't until Saturday, at the earliest.

Rain suspended play all day Friday. Putnam said he think tournament officials are going to shorten the event to three rounds, and that announcement might be coming later today.

Golfers will try and resume Saturday at 4:30 a.m. PDT. at The Country Club at Woodmore. Cameron Piercy leads after an 8-under 64.

This week: PGA Tour's The Memorial Tournament, Thursday through Sunday, Muirfield Village Golf Club, Dublin, Ohio.

Second-round score: 8-over-par 80.

Position: Moore (11-over 155) finished tied for 105th, and missed the cut by seven strokes. Jonathan Byrd and Jim Furyk lead at 7-under 137.

Recap: He's now missed three consecutive cuts, the first time he's done that since last August. In fact, not since a seven-tournament stretch in 2008 starting at the Travelers Championship in late June (five missed cuts, best finish was tied for 58th) has he endured this kind of an extended rough patch. On Friday, playing a more difficult set-up, he had six bogeys and two double bogeys on his round. His final-nine 41 ended when he splashed a drive on the par-4 finishing hole, leading to his final double bogey.

Next: Moore will play in a 36-hole U.S. Open sectional qualifier in Ohio on Monday.
