Agathe Laisné points to +6, with two cards of 74 (+2) and 76 (+4).

Pauline Roussin-Bouchard also does not pass the Cut. Her first day in +8, placed her far from the Cut, and despite four birdies in the second round, she committed two consecutive double bogeys on holes 7 and 8. She returned a card in the PAR of 72, for a total of +8.
