Thomas, Mickelson among notables to miss cut at Open Championship
Justin Thomas and Phil Mickelson were just two of the many players who didn't survive the nasty weather at Royal Birkdale on Friday, missing the 36-hole cut at The Open.
Thomas' tournament essentially ended at the par-4 sixth on Day 2, where he threw a quintuple-bogey 9 on the scorecard, and made the turn in 43. The inward nine was only mildly better for the 24-year-old, and would post a second-round 80 - 13 more than Thursday.
Mickelson made his first birdie of the week at the par-4 first on Friday, but it was all downhill from there. The 2013 Open champion made a triple-bogey 7 at the third en route to a 7-over-par 77, finishing at 10-over for the tournament.
Here's a look at who else failed to get inside the 5-over-par cut line:
