Woods misses Quail Hollow cut as Watney leads the way

(CNN) -- Tiger Wood missed the cut at Quail Hollow in his first tournament since a disappointing showing at the U.S. Masters.

A second round one-over 73 Friday left him level par 144 for the PGA Tour event, one outside the cut line.

The former world number one was left to rue a routine four-foot birdie putt on his penultimate hole and he took 33 putts in total in a disappointing showing on the greens.

Woods happier with swing ahead of return

It was only the eighth time in 267 starts as a professional that Woods will have failed to qualify for the final two rounds.
