Rory McIlroy's bid for a career Grand Slam officially came to an end for another year on Saturday when the Northern Irishman failed to make the Masters cut.
Needing only the Green Jacket to complete a set of all four major titles, McIlroy's fate was pretty much sealed on Friday when he signed for a second round five-over 77 to leave him at five-over for the tournament.
The world number two used a late surge to finish runner-up at last year's Masters but has now missed the cut in two of his last three visits to Augusta National. One of the PGA Tour's most vocal supporters in their feud with LIV Golf, McIlroy was joined at the exit by six members of the breakaway circuit. Major winners Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia and Bubba Watson along with Jason Kokrak all missed the cut. Kevin Na and Louis Oosthuizen withdrew due to illness and injury respectively., who sits two shots clear atop the leaderboard heading into the third round.
Five-time champion Woods, walking the hilly course on his rebuilt leg, bogeyed the closing hole and finished right on the cut line, tying Gary Player and Fred Couples for most consecutive cuts made at the Masters .
