Leona Maguire and Stephanie Meadow failed to find second-round inspiration as both players missed the cut at the Mizuho Americas Open.

FULL LEADERBOARD

After an opening round 77, Meadow had plenty of work to make it to the Saturday, and while a a one-under round of 71 was much improved, it was not enough.

With the cut line at -1, Meadow was five shots foul of that, with a double bogey at the fifth, the only blemish on her scorecard, proving costly.

Maguire also improved on yesterday's score, but a second-round 73 saw the Cavan native finish on three-over par.

The halfway leader is Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand.

The 21-year-old plundered five birdies in her last seven holes to card a 65 and move to the top of the leaderboard on nine-under par, two shots clear of South Korea’s So Mi Lee.

Nelly Korda is among a group of four players a further shot adrift on -6.
