Other News :: GOLF : Tiger Woods fails to make the cut at British Open

Posted on 2009-07-17 by Gooner

World number one Tiger Woods missed the cut in the Open for the first time in his career as Tom Watson continued to roll back the years at Turnberry.

Woods shot a 74 to finish on five over, 10 shots adrift of the leaders. It is only the sixth time that Woods has failed to make the halfway mark in his professional career and only the second time in a major.

Woods, the pre-tournament favourite, dropped seven shots in six holes either side of the turn, including double-bogeys at 10 and 13.

Ben Curtis, the 2003 Open winner, and Colin Montgomerie also missed the cut.

Tom Watson has a share of the halfway lead with fellow American Steve Marino. Mark Calcavecchia lies one shot behind the joint leaders, with England's Ross Fisher in a group on three under.

But defending champion Padraig Harrington still has a chance of making it a hat-trick of Open titles. The Irishman carded a four-over-par 74 in difficult, windy conditions for a three-over aggregate of 143, eight strokes off the lead.
