Sweden's Daniela Holmqvist holds a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the AIG Women's Open.
Holmqvist was one of only seven players to break par on a day where Royal Troon again showed why it is such a feared and respected Open venue.
The 32-year-old followed up her opening level-par round of 71 with a 70 to lie on one-under, one ahead of Germany's Sophia Popov and America's Austin Ernst.
Overnight leader Amy Olson slumped from four-under to six-over following an 81. But the American still made the halfway cut, which fell at +9.
The leading Britons are Wales' Becky Morgan and Scotland's Catriona Matthew on five-over. Morgan shot a two-over 73 while Matthew, who was four off the lead after day one, shot a five-over 75.
Former winner Georgia Hall also made it into the weekend along with fellow English players Jodi Ewart Shadoff, Bronte Law, Felicity Johnson and Mel Reid, Scotland's Michele Thomson and Northern Ireland's Stephanie Meadow.
Notable players to miss the cut include Solheim Cup stars Celine Boutier, Caroline Hedwall, Charley Hull and Lexi Thompson, major winners Dame Laura Davies, Brooke Henderson Stacy Lewis and defending champion Hinako Shibuno.
