Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick both fail to make the cut at the British Open at Royal Birkdale, ending their tournaments early. Yahoo Sports reports that Rose takes an early exit after falling behind in scoring and not making enough putts to keep his position through the weekend. Rose says he tries to refocus during his final rounds, including during the famed 18th-hole stretch at the Open. The report also references Rose’s past Open experience, noting that in 1998, as a 17-year-old amateur, he chipped in on the final hole to finish tied for fourth.
Matt Fitzpatrick also “bids early farewell,” according to the Winnipeg Free Press account, indicating he similarly does not progress past the cut. Across the coverage provided, the common outcome is that both players finish outside the qualifying score to continue at the major. The reports do not include additional details such as round-by-round scores, specific shot counts, or the final cut line.
