Tiger Woods walked up to the 18th green knowing that he had not done enough to play the weekend and attempt to win his third Open Championship at St. Andrews. 

Woods missed the cut Friday, shooting a second-round 3-over, 75 to finish the tournament at +9 over par. 

The Open Championship was the third major of the year for Woods, who skipped the U.S. Open in June in order to prepare his body for the British Open. Woods said after the round that the ovation he received from the crowd on the 18th green "got to me."

"It’s special. The R&A set it up with some pretty tricky pins," Woods said after the round. "Some new ones and made it a little more difficult, and obviously a lot more difficult on me than the others. Again, anytime you get the chance to come back and play the Old Course, in The Open, it’s special. It really is." 

"I’ve been lucky enough to be doing this since 1995, and I don’t know if I’ll be physically able to play another British Open here at St. Andrews. I certainly feel like I’ll be able to play more British Open’s, but don’t know if I’ll be around when it comes back around here. The warmth and the ovation on 18 … it got to me."

Woods struggled mightily on day one of the tournament, shooting a disappointing 78 in the first round. The day got off to a terrible start, with Woods ending up in the water on the first hole and Woods carding a double bogey.
