Thongchai in, Prayad out at Open

LYTHAM: Thai duo Thongchai Jaidee and Prayad Marksaeng endured mixed fortunes at the British Open on Friday. Thongchai, a triple Asian Tour number one, shot a one-over-par 71 to safely make the weekend rounds at Royal Lytham and St Annes on level par 140.

But countryman Prayad's Open misery was extended for at least another year after missing his fifth cut.
