on the mark

Uncharacteristically, McIlroy ignored reporters after each of his rounds in an event where he only made the cut on the mark and finished three over par in a disappointing share of 47th place.

Greyserman made the halfway cut on the mark of one over par, as did Rory McIlroy and defending champion Xander Schauffele, who were in the second group due out.

It’s the first time a Native American playwright has been featured on the Mark Taper Forum’s marquee stage — and it almost didn’t happen.

Whether that was achieved on day one is a moot point but Woods' follow-up that this is "not traditional golf" was bang on the mark.

A second inscription at the Missouri School of Journalism, my alma mater, is also on the mark, though it’s even more mockable and highfalutin: "The Schoolmaster to the People."
