Missed putt costs Grillo, who vents frustration with finger

Emiliano Grillo missed an important putt late Friday and couldn't hold back his frustration.

Needing birdie at the par-4 9th, his final hole of the day, to make the 1-under cut, Grillo lipped out his bid for a three and then shot a middle finger in the direction of his ball and the hole.

A closing par left Grillo 2 under for the day but even par for the week and thus without a weekend tee time at Liberty National.

Worse, however, is that his T-86 finish at The Northern Trust dropped him from 62nd to 69th in the FedExCup standings, with only the top 70 qualifying for next week's BMW Championship.
