British Open: What is the cut line, and who could miss the cut?

Bryson DeChambeau woke up Friday morning with a +7 first round at the British Open around his neck. He knew he'd need to do something special in order to make the weekend, and he did, firing a six-under 65 to finish the day at +1, in strong position to make the British Open cut.
"I woke up this morning and I said, you know what, I can't give up," DeChambeau said. "My dad always told me never to give up, just got to keep going, and that's what I did today. I was proud of the way I fought back, really persevered through some emotionally difficult moments, and to hold myself together and not get pissed and slam clubs and throw things and all that like I wanted to."
That perseverance could reward him with two weekend tee times, which he did not get a year ago.
The top 70 and ties make the cut at The Open. That number has stood at +2 for most of the day on Friday, though wind and rain cropping up in the late afternoon could potentially affect where the line is drawn.
Notable names who have already finished on the wrong side of the cut line include Zach Johnson (+3), Min Woo Lee (+6) and Sahith Theegala (+7). Past major champions like Wyndham Clark, Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed and Collin Morikawa also have work to do on Friday in order to make the cut.
The last time the tournament was played at Royal Portrush, in 2019, the cut stood at +1. The lowest cuts relative to par since 1969, when the R&A began keeping stats for the category, were -1 in both 2006 (Royal Liverpool) and 1990 (St. Andrews). The lowest cut by total strokes was 141 in 2021 (Royal St. George's); a +2 cut would be 144 strokes.
