ABC apparently sent out a breaking news alert that they just lost 3-4 ratings points that Tiger Woods missed the Open Championship cut, and Tony Jimenez confirms with quotes from Tiger after his 74/145 total.

Oh noes!!! I feel the earth wobbling on its axis. Anyway, two doubles on the back nine on Friday will often have that effect.

Ah another round of the fire Hank stories on the way......

[Jock]

Misses 3rd major cut .... surely ?

Woods and Watson at this year's Open: Just another example of golf's allure and greatness.

Tiger and windy conditions - not a good combination.

The final 2 rounds will still be entertaining to all but the most casual fans. Without Tiger and Phil present the potential for a Sunday like the one we saw at Augusta this year is, regrettably, absent. Their great run made a terrific story to add to the saga of the front runners at this year's Masters Sunday round.

at least we don't have to look at stevie

I have nothing but scorn for those who don't watch when Tiger isn't in it. A 59-year-old five time champion is tied for the lead and there are 22 players within four shots including the reigning Masters champion. Great stuff. Tiger probably had this in mind when he invented golf.

Does anyone know the answer to Jock's query? Just curious. I'll bet the first missed cut was as an amateur, no?

It fits, given Geoff's headline. He was denied thee times, then ascended into heaven.

Thank goodness Turnberry isn't on the Tour. If so, it'd have four par-5s next year instead of two. Or someone probably just wouldn't come.

Missed cuts - 09 Open, 06 US Open, 96 Masters - WD at 95 US Open

Have any stories begun to surface suggesting the newly-kneed Tiger is not as good as the first edition? Makes you wonder what state the game would be in without Tiger.

[Jack]

No matter. We'll all tune in anyway to watch two days of that course in fabulous HD.

Wait...

[Aunt Blabbie]

How on earth did this guy win 14 majors?

[Average Golfer]

No Woods.

Now I'll have to speculate on why claret jug is Capitalized.

At least ABC has overnight to work on their 90-minute highlight package as to how Tiger missed the cut on Friday.

Spent the day at the Open yesterday.To me thats the fascination of links golf and the Open-two consecutive days and it was like 2 different courses.It was windy but you wouldnt have said it was a really strong wind.I would have to say I was disappointed at how few players were actually trying to shape their shots though- still just hitting hitting it hard and high and then bemoaning their luck when it didnt work!Having said that,Watson gave a masterclass and Sergio and Fisher looked pretty comfortable with the conditions-liked the look of Cink too-he's my tip now buts that normally the kiss of death.
On the subject of Turnberry itself-I think it has shown what a wonderful golf course it is but the crowds were really poor and my journey that should have taken less than 2 hours took nearly 4-so will it host another Open?-not sure.

Does it seem to you that Tiger only wins the Open on baked out links courses?
