Tiger Woods missed the cut for only the sixth time in his professional career after a horrendous second-round back nine at the Quail Hollow Championship.

The world number one, who started day two on two over, began with a birdie on the first hole in North Carolina.

But Woods, 34, went on to card three successive bogeys from the 10th before two straight double bogeys on the 14th and 15th to finish with 79.

American Billy Mayfair leads on eight under following a second-round 68.

Argentina’s Angel Cabrera is one stroke adrift while world number two and Masters champion Phil Mickelson is among a group of four Americans on six under.
