 Woods had been favourite to win at Turnberry

Tiger Woods is in danger of missing the cut at the Open for the first time in his career after a second round 74 left him five over at Turberry.
The world number one and favourite for the event dropped seven shots in six holes either side of the turn, including double-bogeys at 10 and 13.
"No doubt I'm frustrated, it just didn't happen for me," said Woods.
Woods has missed the cut in only one major as a professional, the 2006 US Open following the death of his father.
Americans Tom Watson and Steve Marino lead by a stroke on five under.
Woods added: "I played three holes very poorly - up until the seventh I was doing fine, I was where I needed to be, but bogey, bogey, double bogey got me going the wrong way.
"Until eight I felt I was in there for the tournament - I thought if I could finish under par I might finish the day in the top 10. But I didn't, I went the other way.

606: DEBATE

"I birdied two of the last four and I think that's not going to be enough. You can't make mistakes and expect to not only make the cut but also try and win a championship."
Woods has only missed five cuts in his entire career as a professional and had never failed to reach the weekend in his 14 previous Opens.
He made crucial birdies at 16 and 17 and got up and down from off the green to save par at 18, but it looks unlikely to be enough to keep him in the tournament.
The 33-year-old began the day on one over after a disappointing opening round of 71 and in difficult conditions started promisingly enough with pars at the first six holes followed up by a birdie at seven.
That got him back to level par, but an horrific run soon put paid to his hopes of once again challenging for the Claret Jug.
He bogeyed eight and nine and then hit his drive into the long grass at 10 where he was unable to find his ball, ending up with a double bogey six.
Another bogey at 12 was followed by a second calamitous double at 13, where one attempted chip from the edge of the green failed to make it up the slope and rolled back off the edge as he slipped to seven over.
Two fine birdies at 16 and 17 gave him hope, but having to settle for par at the last all-but ended his hopes of playing on Saturday and Sunday.
