Anirban Lahiri came within a whisker of squeezing into the weekend, before a visit to the bunker on the very last hole, ended his hopes by one shot at the Open on Friday.

Lahiri was hanging by a slender thread at two-over and a total of five-over, which turned out to be the cut line, when he came to the 18th tee.

His drive landed in fairway bunker, from where he ended with a bogey and finished at 73 for a total of six-over and one shot adrift. On the last hole, Lahiri opted for a driver where a three-wood may have been better.

Earlier Shiv Kapur battled to a similar 73, the same as the first round, and missed by one shot.
