The Open Championship Field Takes Shape As The 2 Top-ranked Players In The World Miss The Cut

Richard Heathcote/Getty Images The cut has officially been made at the 2018 Open Championship, and the two top-ranked golfers in the world — Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas — both failed to survive to the weekend. Across the course, other competitors have laid chase to the leaders at 6-under, with plenty of big names still in the mix to take home the Claret Jug. After two rounds at Carnoustie Golf Links, the field at the Open Championship has whittled down to the players who will get to play through the weekend, and for the first time since 2011, the two top-ranked players in golf will fail to cash a check at golf's oldest major. Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas entered the week holding the top two spots in the golfing world, but underwhelming performances from both superstars left them short of the cut line of +3.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: This controversial Supercross star has 20 minutes to make $1 millionSee Also:'The fairways are faster than the greens' — Conditions at the Open Championship could make for one of the wildest majors in recent memoryThe Open Championship 2018: 12 golfers with the best odds to win the Claret Jug this weekendThe much-anticipated Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson showdown could be a lot bigger and more fun than most people realizeSEE ALSO: 13 sleeper picks to win at the Open Championship this weekend
