Rory McIlroy needed to press Friday afternoon at The Open. Unfortunately for McIlroy, he’s already pressed the eject button. After an opening-round 78, McIlroy started his second round in gusty conditions at Royal Troon with back-to-back pars. He then bogeyed the par-4 third hole before a disastrous triple bogey at the par-5 fourth that dropped him to 11 over, a whopping six shots back of the projected cut line.

TROON, Scotland — Tiger Woods is going home early again.

The 48-year-old Woods on Friday missed his third consecutive cut in a major championship this season when he departed the 152nd British Open at Royal Troon in 14-over par. 

That had him 10 shots off the cut line at the time and in 148th place among the 154 players in the field.

“Well, it wasn’t very good,’’ Woods said of his second-round 6-over-par 77 that followed Thursday’s 79.
