ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Most every golfer in the world dreams of making a pilgrimage to the Home of Golf, its stunning assortment of links a top draw. The ancient city’s history opens eyes, as well. And an array of shops, pubs and restaurants adds to the powerful lure.
Even for those who have made the journey over and over again still can’t wait to return to this seaside village.
Leaving, however, is dreaded. Downright painful.
But leave is what many of the players in the 150th Open Championship did after the cut was made in the oldest tournament in golf. The number of major champions who will miss the final two rounds reached double digits.
The cut fell at even-par 144, with the top 70 and ties advancing.
