Tiger Woods Fails to Qualify for British Open

Tiger Woods failed to make the cut to qualify for the Bristish Open. This is only the sixth time in his career he didn’t qualify, and the first since the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot, his first tournament after his father died. Tiger expressed his disappointment saying:
"It was just problem after problem. I kept compounding my problems out there. I hit some bad tee shots, a couple of bad iron shots, didn’t get it up and down. I kept making mistake after mistake."
"Unfortunately, it just didn’t happen. No doubt I’m frustrated. I was playing well the first seven holes, right there in the championship. I felt like if I was under par for the tournament, I would be in the top 10. I didn’t do that. I went the other way."
"I just made mistakes. And obviously you can’t make mistakes and expect to not only make the cut, but also try and win a championship. You have to play clean rounds of golf, and I didn’t. I made my share of mistakes out there today and didn’t play a very clean card."
Tiger will bounce back, he always does.

HG, you are excused because you’re obviously not a golfer.
“failed to make the cut to qualify for the Bristish (sic) Open”.
Tiger had ALREADY qualified for the British Open. Golf tournaments are played over 4 days, and after the first two rounds the field is cut (the number varies by tournament). Tiger was in the tournament but failed to “make the cut” into the final two rounds of the tournament on Saturday and Sunday.
I’m a golfer, but I didn’t get a chance to watch Tiger play. I feel foolish for not researching the story better. Thank you for clarifying it for me.
