Tiger Woods Misses Cut at 2019 British Open Despite Shooting 1 Under Round 2

Tiger Woods shot a much-improved one-under-par 70 at the 2019 British Open on Friday, but will miss the cut at Royal Portrush following his costly opening 78.

After a miserable opening round in which the Masters champion dropped eight shots and managed just one birdie, Woods carded three bogeys on Friday. And four birdies amounted to a tidy round for Tiger.

But six over par for the first two rounds will not be enough to keep him at Portrush for the weekend.

Woods made the ideal start to Friday's second round as he drained a looping 25-foot birdie putt to prompt a huge roar from the watching fans:
