Shane Lowry and J.B. Holmes share the lead through two rounds of the British Open.
Veteran golfers Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and pre-tournament favorite Rory McIlroy were all among those sent packing at Royal Portrush.
Woods couldn't recover from an opening-round 78 and finished at 6-over to miss the cut by five shots, while McIlroy failed to overcome Thursday's 79 despite closing his back nine with
a flourish to shoot 6-under 65.
The native Northern Irishman finished two over to miss the cut by one stroke.
Brooks Koepka is three shots back at 5-under as he aims for a fifth major victory in three years.
