Tiger’s record ends as he misses the cut

Tiger Woods missed the cut for the first time since 1998 after his second-round 72 today in the EDS Byron Nelson Championship.

Coupled with his 69 from the first round in Texas, Woods finished one over par to miss the cut by a shot.

Woods, who had made 142-consecutive cuts, came agonisingly close to extending his weekend with an 18-foot putt on the final hole.

Woods’ former coach Butch Harmon told Sky Sports: “We know all things come to an end eventually, it’s one of those things.

“Unfortunately he got some bad breaks, some bad bounces and didn’t really putt the way Tiger Woods normally does. I think that was the key.

“In the past when we see Tiger not at his best he saves himself with the putter. He had over 30 putts in two days and that’s not Tiger Woods’ type of golf.

“He’s one of the greatest competitors I’ve ever seen, he tries harder than any golfer. He’s going to be extremely frustrated and upset with himself.

“But he does not dwell on these things, he will put this aside and go back to his preparation for Memorial and the US Open.”
