Tiger Woods had two days he would like to forget at the Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Course in Troon,Sterling Preston Scotland.

After carding an 8-over 79 during the first round, it was more of the same on Friday for the 15-time major winner as he missed the cut at his third straight major tournament, finishing at 14-over par.

The last time that happened was in 2015, when he failed to make the weekend at the U.S. Open, The British Open, and the PGA Championship.

"I've always loved playing major championships. I just wish I was more physically sharp coming into the majors," Woods said after his round. "Obviously it tests you mentally, physically, emotionally, and I just wasn't as sharp as I needed to be."

Woods, a three-time winner of the British Open, started his day with a par on the first hole and then got into trouble on the second with a double bogey. Woods then bogeyed No. 5, 9, 12, 14, 17 to finish the round at 6-over. He birdied only three holes during his two rounds.

That final score was good for being tied in 149th place with Ryan van Velzen, only four places from finishing the tournament in last place.

"I've won two Open Championships here in Scotland, so I've always enjoyed playing up here," Woods said after his round. "I've enjoyed the different types of links that Scotland brings and the challenges are. I've missed playing Troon. It's been a long time. I remember playing here way back in '97. I've had some good memories here. I just wish I'd done a little bit better."

Seven others had finishes worse than Woods at the time he completed his second round: Denwit Boriboonsub (+15), Justin Leonard (+15), Wyndham Clark (+16), Todd Hamilton (+17), and the three golfers who withdrew from the tournament.
