Jeongeun Lee5 leads in Portland as Stephanie Meadow misses cut
Jeongeun Lee5 shot a second-round 67 to lead the Portland Classic at the halfway point while Antrim's Stephanie Meadow missed the 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.
