Golf: Kiwis miss the cut in Hawaii

All three Kiwis failed to make the cut following the second round of the Sony Open on the PGA Tour in Hawaii.

Tim Wilkinson was the closest to sneaking inside the two-under cut line, finishing a shot outside after an improved two-under 68 in today's second round.

Danny Lee, who was the best of the New Zealand trio after an opening-round 68, slipped down the leaderboard with a one-over effort on the second day. Steven Alker, meanwhile, finished well off the pace after following yesterday's 72 with a three-over 73.

The tournament's three American co-leaders, Matt Kuchar, Webb Simpson and Justin Thomas, will head into tomorrow's third round tied on 12-under.
