Tiger Woods was fighting back the tears walking up the 18th fairway at St Andrews, as spine tingling scenes from those watching on greeted the golfing great as his week came to an end. Woods carded a disappointing three-over-par 75 to finish the tournament nine-over, meaning he missed the cut to compete at the weekend.
The American has a strong affinity with the Old Course, having won two of his three Claret Jugs there in 2000 and 2005. Whilst his performance this time around did not mirror his previous heroics, Woods was deservedly given a hero's reception when making his way down the final hole.
After flying his tee shot just short of the green, the 15-time major champion made the famous walk over the The Swilcan Bridge and down the fairway, and was greeted by unwavering support from the stands.
