LANCASTER, Pa. – World No. 1 Nelly Korda shaved 10 strokes off her first-round score at the U.S. Women’s Open, but it wasn’t enough to stick around for the weekend. While the fans at Lancaster Country Club tried to will her inside the cut line, Korda’s second-round 70 put her at 10 over for the tournament and two shots outside the number.
“Tried to give it my all,” said Korda, who hadn’t missed a cut on tour in nearly a full year. “That’s what I do with every round. I had nothing to lose, so that was kind of like the mentality. Just go for it.”
The cut line fell at 8 over with 75 players advancing to the weekend. Only four players finished the first two rounds under par, with Thailand’s Wichanee Meechai leading the way at 4 under.
Here’s a look at notable players who missed the cut:

After winning six of her last seven starts on tour, Korda’s epic run hit a wall after an opening 80 at Lancaster. She’s missed the cut in three of her last five U.S. Women’s Open starts.

Zhang won her second LPGA title earlier this month at the Cognizant Founders Cup but never got anything going at Lancaster despite the championship’s logo, a rose, adding some synergy.
