MICHAEL SIM, ADAM SCOTT MISS AUSSIE PGA CUT

Scots-born Simon Yates survived the halfway cut with nothing to space in the Australian PGA Championship. He has had rounds of 71 and 73 for 144, the cut-off mark.
Aberdeen-born Michael Sim and Adam Scott, one of the Aussie favourites, missed out on the same mark, 148. Sim nosedived from an opening 70 to a second-round 78 while Scott had uninspired scores of 73 and 75.
Another big-name failure was John Daly who had a total of 154 despite a first-round 73. Daly's second-round, strewn with double bogeys, totalled 83.
American Bobby Gates leads with 64 and 69 for 133.
