British Open: Tearful Tiger Woods Misses Cut In Likely St Andrews Farewell

sports.ndtv.com

A tearful Tiger Woods said he may never get the chance to grace a British Open at St Andrews again after missing the cut on Friday with a score of nine-over-par for his two rounds.

The 15-time major winner won two of his three Claret Jugs at the home of golf, but admitted to struggling just to walk the 18 holes after a major car crash last year left him needing emergency surgery on his right leg.

Most of the damage to Woods' chances of making the weekend was done on Thursday when he posted a six-over round of 78 to match his worst ever start at the British Open.

He optimistically targeted a 66 to get back to the projected cut level of even par on a day of low scoring as overnight rain softened up the fast-running fairways.
