India's Aditi Ashok missed a number of makeable putts as she carded even par 71 to make the cut at the Hugel Air Premia LA Open on the LPGA.
Aditi, the only golfer from her country with current playing rights on the world's biggest Tour for ladies, is now one-under 141 and Tied-40th after 36 holes.
She had just one birdie and one bogey and parred the remaining 16 holes on a day when she needed 30 putts to go through the round.
The 23-year-old from Bengaluru was better both in terms of finding fairways and reaching the greens as compared to the first day but she was found wanting on the greens.
