Heading to what could have been his final hole of the week, Wood was at five-over par, currently just outside the projected cut at the Open Championship. No one wants to miss the cut in a major, especially not in your home country. Wood, from Bristol, England, found the fairway on the 473-yard par-4, leaving himself a good look at the green. Getting a birdie opportunity would give him a chance to get to four-over, right on the cut line at the moment. Instead, Wood left no doubt:

What a way to finish! Eagle on 18 for @chris3wood to put himself inside the projected cut. #TheOpen pic.twitter.com/l4UDra0wjm

The eagle-2 on one of the more difficult holes on the course gets Wood to three-over. There are 71 players at four-over or better at Royal Birkdale right now, and with the weather only getting worse, Wood should make plans to hang around for the weekend.
