Donald and Westwood among big names to miss cut

SANDWICH, England,  (Reuters) – World number one Luke  Donald and second-ranked Lee Westwood were among a host of  big-name players to miss the cut at the British Open yesterday.

Britain’s Donald, who won for the third time this season  when he captured the Scottish Open title on Sunday, carded a 75  for a six-over total of 146 after a crushing finish saw him  bogey the last four holes of his second round.

Westwood, like compatriot Donald still chasing his maiden  major victory, also fell by the wayside after returning a 73 for  144.

“It’s very disappointing not to be here for the weekend,”  Donald told reporters.
