Tiger Woods made an early and emotional departure from the British Open at St. Andrews, perhaps for the last time.
Tiger Woods of the United States walks on the 17th hole during Day Two of The 150th Open at St Andrews Old Course on July 15, 2022 in St Andrews, Scotland.Tiger Woods made an early and emotional departure Friday from the British Open, possibly for the last time at St. Andrews. Cameron Smith can only wonder if the 150th Open will be his arrival as an undisputed elite player.
Woods didn't retire from major championship golf or the British Open. He's just not sure a right leg held together by hardware or a lower spine that has been fused will allow him to compete when the Open returns to St. Andrews again. Young overcame a few mistakes and closed with a birdie for a 69, putting him in the last group with Smith going into the weekend.
Dustin Johnson, who already has a Masters green jacket and a U.S. Open title at Oakmont, played early in the best conditions of the week — light rain that took some of the fire out of the Old Course and then a warming sun — for a 67. He was four shots back. Right behind was Masters champion Scottie Scheffler with another 68.
"I don't get too excited nor too angry. I like to stay in the middle there," he said. "A lot of people say that it's boring to watch. But that's just how I go about my golf."
