The 150th annual Open Championship is officially underway at St. Andrews in Scotland. The world’s oldest golf championship began Thursday (July 14) and will continue through the weekend.

Tiger Woods missed the cut during round 2 of the tournament on Friday (July 15), and although he hopes to return, he’s not sure if he will be “physically able” to play.

“It is very emotional for me,” said Woods, who has missed the cut only two other times in his golf career. “I have been coming here since 1995 and I do not know when the next one will come around. I do not know if I will be physically able to play by then. So, to me, it felt like this might have been my last Open here at St. Andrews and the fans, the ovation and the warmth, it was an unbelievable feeling.

“I understand what Jack (Nicklaus) and Arnold (Palmer) had gone through in the past,” Woods continued. “I was kind of feeling that way there at the end. And just the collective warmth and understanding. They understand what golf is all about and what it takes to be an Open champion here. And I have been lucky enough and fortunate enough to have won this twice here.”

In other news, 25-year-old rookie Cameron Young led the Open on Thursday after making a stellar debut, while Australia’s Cameron Smith currently tops the leaderboard. Young, Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Viktor Hovland round out the top five. See the full list of scores here.
