Celine Boutier (Missed⁢ by⁤ one stroke)

Boutier, the​ reigning AIG Women’s Open champion, looked set to⁢ make the ⁣cut after a promising opening round of 68. However, a disappointing 75 on Friday proved ‌costly. She hit only 10 greens‍ in regulation and made three bogeys in her final five holes.

Anna​ Nordqvist (Missed by two strokes)

Nordqvist, a former major winner, also‍ stumbled on the second day at⁤ Rancho Mirage. After carding‍ a solid 70 in the first round, she​ struggled with⁤ her irons and ⁣found ‌herself in trouble around the ⁢greens. A costly double-bogey ‍on​ the par-3 ⁣17th ended her hopes ⁣of making​ the weekend.

Charley Hull⁤ (Missed by three strokes)

Hull, known for her aggressive‌ style of play, came within touching distance of‍ making the cut.⁣ She made a strong ‍start with a 69 but let her challenge slip away with ⁤a frustrating 74 on Friday. Hull hit several wayward tee ⁢shots and⁣ failed to capitalize on ‌her approach shots.
