Brooke Henderson carded an even-par 72 in the opening round and needed a much stronger second round in a low-scoring week.

Henderson played better on day 2 and shot a 3-under 69, but a double bogey on the par-4 12th cost her a spot in the weekend.

2) Lexi Thompson

Lexi Thompson also missed the cut after carding rounds of 72 and 70 and finished two strokes behind the cutline. She had a difficult start with a double bogey and a bogey, but recovered well with three straight birdies.

After bogeying the ninth hole of the day, Thompson added three more birdies but still came up short. This was her first missed cut of the season in three starts.

3) Lilia Vu
