The fairy tale has slowly unwound. Local boy, Darren Clarke, who led the field off on Thursday in the 148th Open Championship, took seven at the last to miss the cut. Rory McIlroy, who famously shot 61 around Royal Portrush at the age of 16, shot 65, equalling best score of the day, but agonisingly missed the cut by one. And our man, Gmac, held firm just making it through on the cut line, nine back from the leader.

There are some athletes who are so talented that they become legendary early in their careers and even a few bad seasons can’t tarnish their reputation. Tiger Woods is one of those athletes. When he turned pro in 1996, he shook up the golfing world and things have never been the same. He hadn’t been playing at quite the same level in recent years, but he was still making his mark.
Although the end of 2021 is soon approaching, there is still time for some of golf’s biggest names to take to the course and with the approaching on the horizon, it also offers an opportunity to pocket $1m before Christmas.
England's Lee Westwood rolled back the years to take the halfway lead at TPC Sawgrass following a flawless six-under round of 66. It will be the third time Westwood has led the field going into the weekend at The Players Championship, the prior occasions being when he was a much younger man.
