World number one Nelly Korda missed the cut at the US Women’s Open after failing to recover from a nightmare opening round. <\/p>\n

The American, 25, carded a 10-over-par 80 in round one<\/a> at the Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania, and a second round par score of 70 left her two shots adrift of the eight-over cut. <\/p>\n

Korda, who was the overwhelming favourite for her first US Open title after winning six of her previous seven tournaments, made three consecutive birdies on the front nine.<\/p>\n

But she failed to make ground on the back nine, finishing with a bogey on the 18th. <\/p>\n

Thailand’s Wichanee Meechai is the surprise leader, with the 31-year-old taking a two-shot lead into the weekend.<\/p>\n

Meechai, who has never finished in the top 10 in her previous 20 appearances at the majors, carded a three-under 67 that included six birdies. <\/p>\n

Lexi Thompson was greeted by cheers throughout as she bowed out of the event for the final time, finishing 13 over following a 75 in round two. <\/p>\n

The 11-time LPGA Tour winner made the shock announcement earlier this week that she would retire at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

It was the US Women’s Open that launched Thompson’s career, when she qualified for the 2007 tournament at the age of 12. <\/p>\n

“It’s meant the world to me. I’m so blessed and grateful for the family I have,” the American, 29, said. <\/p>\n

“Going into the week, I knew it was going to be a big week. To have my family and friends and the amount of fans that were out there this week, that’s what we want.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
