[FONT=&quot]TIGER Woods was backed as low as 1-50 (punters willing to risk $50 to win $1) on Betfair to make the Open cut.<o

[FONT=&quot]But the pre-tournament 5-2 favourite is now set to be on the runway, rather than the fairway, after a sensational collapse this afternoon.<o

[FONT=&quot]Tens of thousands of pounds were placed on Tiger to make the cut at massive odds-on prices – for example, $38,063 was matched on Betfair at the odds of 1-20 alone – and it all looked so promising for Woods and his supporters when he was one under for his round today, and standing at par for the championship. <o

[FONT=&quot]However, after a series of back-nine disasters that saw him seven over par the championship, he drifted out to 20-1 to make the weekend.<o

[FONT=&quot]A birdie at the 16<sup>th</sup> gave him some hope, but he could only find one more shot on the last two holes and finished on five over. That doesn’t look enough at the moment.<o

[FONT=&quot]Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin commented: “Many thought that Tiger would have an armchair ride at the Open this weekend. <o

[FONT=&quot]“They were right - but it will probably be from the armchair in his home.”<o
