MISSING OUT

Five Big Names Who Did Not Make It To The Final Two Rounds

Stephen Gallacher

(Scotland) +6

The only back-to-back champion in the history of the tournament will have to wait for that triple crown as the 48-year-old shot a matching pair of 75s. On to the Junior Ryder Cup in Rome for the new captain.

Rafa Cabrera Bello

(Spain) +5

The 2012 winner here at Emirates Golf Club goes back to the drawing board after a disappointing opening 75 had him in early trouble. A second-round 72 was not enough to get him back above the cut-line.

Sepp Straka

(Austria) +3

The Viennese was heavily fancied coming into the tournament thanks to some strong showings on the PGA Tour over the past 12 months. But a 73 and 74 kept him well down the pecking order and out of the reckoning.

Francesco Molinari

(Italy) +3

The victorious Hero Cup captain had been going through a renaissance lately with some great showings culminating in a fifth-place finish at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship last week. No such luck this time with a 72 and 75.

Padraig Harrington

(Ireland) +2

The Irish Jekyll and Hyde tale of the week saw the three-time major winner and fourthplaced player in Abu Dhabi last time out card a horrendous 81 in the opening round before a stunning 65 was too little too late.
