Meadow finished the day on -3, eight shots behind leader Chun.

Leona Maguire guaranteed her place in the weekend with a birdie on 17 that secured a level-par 72.

The Cavan native had been just inside the cut mark of +3 but that took her to a more comfortable +2 overall and she will hope to improve on her indifferent start on Saturday.
