Misses cut at VidantaWorld Thorbjornsen carded a 36-hole score of one-over-par to miss the cut by four shots at this past week's Mexico Open at VidantaWorld.

Impact Thorbjornsen's impressive length off the tee wasn't enough to carry him into the weekend at Vidanta Vallarta, where he lost 4.75 strokes with his irons and converted only five of 13 scrambling opportunities across two rounds. The 23-year-old Stanford University product has missed the cut in three of four starts to begin his 2025 campaign, but Thorbjornsen will peg it again this week at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches for his PGA National debut.
