Aditi Ashok misses cut in Boca Raton

Indian golfer Aditi Ashok missed the cut in her first appearance on the LPGA tour this season as she shot 77-72 in the first two rounds of the Gainbridge LPGA. 

Aditi, who was two-over through 15 holes when play was stopped due to darkness on the first day, ended her first round at 77 and added 72 in the second to exit early.

Sweden's Madelene Sagstrom, 27, birdied seven of the first nine holes and shot a 10-under 62 on Friday to take the second-round lead. She shot 72 in the first round. She birdied the first two holes, parred the next two and made five birdies in a row for 7-under 29.

Sagstrom has a one-shot lead over Spaniard Carlota Ciganda (66) as Cydney Clanton, Nasa Hataoka and Jennifer Song carded 64 each to get to 8 under. Sei Young Kim was 7 under after a 69, and Celine Boutier had a 67 to reach 6 under.

First-round leader Jessica Korda followed her opening 66 with a 73 to drop to T8 at 5-under.
