Scheffler and Smith rally to survive the cut at British Open; Johnson, Thomas and Morikawa go home

Associated Press  

HOYLAKE, England — World No. Both came through with great shots at the 18th to make the cut at the British Open on Friday, contrary to a slew of other major champions who are going home for the weekend. “But it was good to end like that for sure.” Scheffler made four bogeys on the back nine and arrived at the 18th needing a birdie to keep alive his streak of not missing any cuts this season. “Making two doubles and a quad, that’s 8-year-old, 9-year-old kind of stuff, not someone who’s trying to win a British Open,” Thomas said. Shane Lowry, the 2019 British Open champion, made four bogeys and a double to finish at 7 over.
