Homeward Bound: Top 10 notables that missed the Masters cut

Past winners, young guns and KJ Choi … yes, K.J Choi will watch the final two rounds unfold from behind the spectator ropes.

07/04/12 918 Views No Comments

WHILE TIGER DREAMS of sparking a comeback and Rory marches serenely on, the 2012 Masters is now a niggling memory for 33 rueful golfers.

Tom Watson looked on course to extended his playing time into the weekend before bogeys on the final two holes left him signing for a score of 151 (+7).

Others, like Sandy Lyle (+20) and Craig Stadler (+19), never came close.

We look at 10 golfers that will quite literally be packing for home on what is traditionally known as ‘Moving Day’.

Homeward Bound: Top 10 notables that missed the Masters cut
1 / 10

  • Darren Clarke

    The reigning British Open champion was on the missed cut line with six holes to play but finished poorly to sign off for +10. The Dungannon golfer showed signs of form on day one but could not sustain it around a challenging course.

  • Ian Woosnam

    Seen here giving a putting lesson to his caddie on the 10th green, Woosnam finished at +10. The 1991 winner of the Green Jacket was inconsistent throughout and recorded two damaging double bogeys on Friday

  • Bernhard Langer

    The German was +3 standing at the 13th tee on Friday. Two double bogeys and a dropped shot at the last left the two-time Masters champion at +8.

  • Paul Casey

    The Englishman was not backwards about being forward when asked about his chances of winning the tournament. Needed a birdie on 18 to stay around for the weekend but only succeeded in bogeying.

  • Jose Maria Olazabal

    The long-time standard bearer at Augusta, the Spaniard won the Masters in 1994 and 1999. Olazabal gave himself a glimmer of making the cut with an eagle on 15 but could not break par at the final three holes.

  • KJ Choi

    What is a final day at the Masters without KJ Choi being in the mix? Three top-10 finishes in the past eight years but his chance may have gone for good. Finished at +9.

  • Mike Weir

    The Canadian golfer won the Masters back in 2003 but has been struggling for the past five years with his game. A level-par opening round was undone by a 79 on day two.

  • Jason Day

    The Australian golfer, currently sitting at No. 11 in the world rankings, tied for 2nd at last year's Masters. He recorded a 77 in his first round but withdrew from the tournament that evening.

  • Ben Crenshaw

    Crenshaw - a two-time winner of the Green Jacket - fired a respectable 76 in the first round. The 60-year-old's +11 second round dropped him neat the foot of the leaderboard.

  • Tom Watson

    Tom Watson just missed the cut after bogeys on 17 and 18 left him at +7. The last of the 62-year-old's Masters wins came back in 1981.
