British Open projected cut line: Tiger Woods safely on right side at Carnoustie

-

The British Open, which boasts a full 156-man field, utilizes a pretty standard cut rule. The top 70 and ties make it through to the weekend. At Carnoustie this week, it looks like that number will come in somewhere around 2-over. The wind, of course, could turn unexpectedly and start bumping scores higher but that is not in the forecast at the moment. It will pick up in the afternoon, but it’s not supposed to be a dramatic difference. Rain has softened the course a bit and could yield to lower scores that move the number up a stroke or two.

The top draw near the cut line on Friday morning is the biggest draw in the history of the game. Tiger Woods, who posted an even-par 71 on Thursday, started his second round with two bogeys in his first three holes. That promptly put him on the wrong side of the cut line. Woods has missed five of his last seven major championship cuts but of course some of those came as he played with a messed up back.

Woods missed the U.S. Open cut a month ago by a good margin and that was always a possibility with Shinnecock and a USGA setup. But an MC this week would have been much more disappointing and shocking. Carnoustie, baked to a crisp, was set up well for Tiger to post some numbers. His history on the links and his creative mind for it make him well-suited for this major. It’s also the one that is most benign for the aging vets, as has been demonstrated over the past decade.

So Tiger gassing up the jet for the States on Friday would have been a massive disappointment. Fortunately, he has righted the ship following those two early bogeys. He backed them up immediately with two birdies, one on the fourth and another coming via a long putt that you just can’t consistently count on.

So Tiger is back to two clear of the cut line. Justin Thomas, however, took a big nosedive to the wrong side of the cut line with three straight double bogeys on Nos. 6 through 8. He went from the first page of the leaderboard to a tie for 100th place. That’s no good for the No. 2 player in the world.

Quicken Loans National: Tee times, pairings for Tiger Woods, field on Saturday

-
Image
The field may be weak, but we have ourselves a worthwhile leaderboard heading to the weekend at the Quicken Loans National . The names that needed to make the cut, did. And really, the one, all-important draw is back in contention and within scaring distance of the leaders at TPC Potomac. Tiger Woods will have another late weekend tee time on Saturday, playing at 12:25 p.m. ET alongside Joel Dahmen. Woods started Friday’s second round near the cut line, but shot up the leaderboard with a 5-under 65. That put him in a tie for 11th place at the 36-hole midpoint and just four shots off the lead. Brian Gay, Ryan Armour, and Beau Hossler all hold the lead at 9-under, which would have won last year’s event on this same course by a good two shots. It’s only going to get hotter, play firmer and faster, and toughen up on the weekend. It looks like we’re headed for a winner in the double digits but it might not be too deep come Sunday night, giving Tiger plenty of time to close that gap. Wood...

Seahawks waive 2017 2nd round pick Malik McDowell, another draft whiff

-
Image
The Seattle Seahawks parted ways with defensive tackle Malik McDowell on Thursday, just over a year after the team picked him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft . McDowell never took a snap or donned a Seahawks uniform before an ATV accident in July 2017 caused injuries that ended his rookie year before it ever began. The details of his injury were never revealed, but over a year later, the Seahawks still weren’t ready to medically clear the lineman. McDowell will now have to hunt for another NFL team willing to give him a chance. For the Seahawks it’s another bad pick in a string of poor draft choices in recent offseasons. McDowell was the first pick Seattle made in 2017, putting him in an underwhelming group. Seahawks first draft pick last six years: Malik McDowell, Germain Ifedi, Frank Clark, Paul Richardson, Christine Michael, Bruce Irvin, James Carpenter — Danny Kelly (@DannyBKelly) April 16, 2018 In that group: Three left as free agents (Carpenter, Irvin and ...
