Peter Uihlein makes first cut in a major

Former IMG standout Peter Uihlein made his first cut in a major after completing his second round at the British Open on Friday.

The reigning United States Amateur champion missed the cut in the Masters and U.S. Open earlier this year.

Uihlein is a rising senior at Oklahoma State University and turned in his second straight 71 on the par-70 Royal St. George's layout in Sandwich, England.

Uihlein is tied for 45th. The top 71 players advanced to the weekend portion of the 72-hole tournament.

Fellow IMG alum Sean O'Hair did not make the cut.

O'Hair improved on his opening-round 73 with a second-round 71, but missed by one shot after the cut was made at 3-over par.
