Tiger Woods was headed for a third straight missed cut in the Open as Ireland’s Shane Lowry continued his bid for a second Claret Jug on day two at Royal Troon.

Woods had targeted a second round in the mid-60s to “get something going on the weekend” following an opening 79, but that quickly looked a forlorn hope despite better conditions for the early starters.
