AUGUSTA, Ga. – Tom Watson played his last round at the Masters on Friday.

The two-time champion shot a 6-over 78 to finish at 8 under after two days — two shots away from his goal of playing the weekend in his last tournament at Augusta National.

The 66-year-old was only 2 over after the first day and, with another round like that, would've become the oldest player to make the cut at the year's first major.

But he made three bogeys over the first five holes, then only one birdie after that.

Jordan Spieth made two bogeys over his last three holes to finish at 4 under, which brought two-time champion Bubba Watson back for the weekend. Watson was outside the top 50 but finished at 6 over — and made the cut under the 10-shot rule.
