Lydia Ko has missed just the third cut of her professional career after a horror round at the windswept Scottish Open.
Ko shot a seven-over par 79 - tied for the second worst round of her career - as she missed the cut by four strokes.
On a day where
just 17 golfers shot under par, Ko struggled more than most, carding five bogies on the front nine, before starting her back nine with a double bogey and bogey to be eight over through just 11 holes.
While she stabilised down the stretch, Ko was already out of contention, describing the conditions as the windiest she has ever played in.
"Normally when I played the British Opens, or even here a couple years ago, there was rain and that kind of softens up everything and it just makes it a touch easier than what it could be playing," Ko told The Scotsman.
