America’s Amanda Doherty holds the lead heading into the weekend on 11-under.
Meanwhile, 2019 winner Stephanie Meadow, who shot a 76 on the opening day, missed the cut after a one-under 72 left over on three-over overall.
Similarly, it was a frustrating day for Belfast golfer Olivia Mehaffey, who also missed the cut after today’s 80 left her on 10-over.
