Jeongeun Lee5 leads in Portland as Stephanie Meadow misses cut
The Irish golfer had finished strongly on Thursday to card a level-par 72, but a second-round 77 saw her fall to five-over for the tournament, 17 shots off the summit.
Starting at the 10th, Meadow bogeyed both par fives in her opening three holes with two further bogeys and a double at the 16th sending her tumbling down the leaderboard.
She steadied the ship coming in, going under par with three birdies to two bogeys, but was never in contention of being around for the weekend.
South Korea's Lee5 had started the second round one stroke behind French rookie Adela Cernousek, and her round of 67 saw her move to 12-under and one clear of Australia's Grace Kim and America's Gurleen Kaur.

Keith Andrews 'needs a good start as management can become a horrible position'
Keith Andrews has been warned there is no hiding place in the Premier League. The former Republic of Ireland international will make his competitive managerial debut in Sunday's league opener away to Nottingham Forest. Andrews was the Bee's left-field appointment this summer to succeed new Tottenham boss Thomas Frank, even though he was hiding in plain sight. The Dubliner was Brentford's set piece coach last season, having previously been on Sheffield United's staff, Ireland assistant to Stephen Kenny and MK Dons No 2. But taking the reins of a Premier League club is uncharted territory for the former midfielder who has no direct managerial experience. And with Brentford's big names like Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard now gone to Manchester United and Arsenal respectively, it's a daunting task. Outside of the promoted trio of Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland, the bookies have Brentford next best on their relegation list. Richard Dunne was an Ireland team-mate of Andrews' and is excited to see how he gets on as a Premier League boss, but stressed there is no hiding place. 'That's it and the players don't take long to work you out,' Dunne told Mirror Sport. 'If he doesn't get off to a good start, it can become a horrible position very, very quickly. 'It's important that Brentford win games and it's important that he has a squad that's capable of competing in the Premier League. 'But if Brentford don't replace the players who are going out, it's not down to Keith Andrews, it's down to the club not strengthening when they need to. But he needs to get off to that good start because you don't get two opportunities in the Premier League.' While some Brentford fans were underwhelmed by Andrews' appointment, Dunne reckons his former team-mate has the ruthless streak required to be a top boss. 'To get to where he's got to, you have to have that,' said the former Manchester City, Aston Villa and Everton defender, who is an ambassador for NetBet Irish online casino. 'He'll want to get to the top and you have to make tough decisions to get there and I think Keith has that within him. He wouldn't be a Premier League manager if he didn't. 'Brentford do things a little bit differently and they have obviously seen something different in Keith, that managerial streak. 'He has been around the club long enough that they know him inside out and they obviously have huge trust in him to give him this opportunity'. So far, Brentford have signed Caoimhin Kelleher from Liverpool, Michael Kayode from Fiorentina, Antoni Milambo from Feyenoord and Jordan Henderson from Ajax. And Dunne continued: 'It's a surprise move by Brentford, there's no doubt about it but it's a brilliant move for Keith. He's not been a manager anywhere and to go from being the set-piece coach to being the main man at a Premier League club is a huge step up. 'It's going to be hard for him as it will be difficult for them to reach the same levels as they have done in previous years. They look like they are losing some of their more experienced players which makes it even more difficult, but that's exciting. 'You don't want to see the same thing over and over again but I think Keith will bring something new to the Premier League and he'll bring his own ideas. 'He speaks really well and I think the players will respond to him. I spoke to a few people about him and they are really impressed with his coaching. 'They say that's a huge thing about him. You even see the clips that Brentford put out during pre-season and you listen to how he communicates with the players. 'It's all about getting off to a good start and getting the player to buy into it even more. But from an Irish point of view, you're hoping that it goes really well and that he becomes a super manager who hopefully one day becomes Ireland's manager.' And Dunne feels Andrews will be well served by having his new captain Nathan Collins, and goalkeeper Kelleher in the dressing room. Andrews will look to build the spine of his team through his two compatriots and Dunne added: 'It will be good to have people who know him. 'He will be able to speak to the rest of the dressing room through those two players. If they're performing every week, they'll want Keith Andrews as their manager so they will make sure the rest of the team are all pulling in the right direction for him.'

Tommy Conlon: The world's sporting marketplace has come truffle-hunting in the previously virgin territory of the Gael
Was it for this the wild geese spread the grey wing upon every tide? Was it just for this, the Australian dollar or, even worse, the Yankee buck? Last Sunday we were lamenting that fewer and fewer Irish lads are being offered the King's shilling in the Premier League, which nowadays equates to a king's ransom for pretty much anyone who makes it as far as that particular Klondike.
