Americans Phil Mickelson and Collin Morikawa were among former champions to miss the cut in the British Open at Hoylake on Friday.
Defending champion Cameron Smith was in danger of joining them but the Australian played a superb six iron to he final green and holed an eagle that sent him through to the weekend action.
The 53-year-old Mickelson, who lifted the Claret Jug at Muirfield in 2013, finished on nine over par and Morikawa, champion at Sandwich two years ago, was four over for the first two rounds.
