Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are heading home early from the British Open.
Woods began the back nine at Royal Portrush with two birdies and had a chance to post a good score at 3 under through 11 holes. But that was his last birdie, and he closed with two straight bogeys for 1-under 70.
He was at 6 over, virtually certain to miss the cut for the second time this year in a major in a season that began with him winning the Masters for the fifth time.
Woods was slowed by the par 5s, which he played in 1 over for the round and 2 over for the week.
McIlroy, the home favourite, fired a 65 on Friday but finished at 2-over, just one shot shy of the +1 cut line.
