Versailles (France) (AFP) - Graeme McDowell's hopes of pulling off a rare hat-trick of title wins at the French Open bit the dust at Le Golf National on Friday.

The Northern Irishman, who has been struggling for form all year, added a second round of 78 to go with his opening 72 and at eight over par he had no chance of making the cut for the weekend.
