Minjee Lee's Olympic bid stutters at Le Golf National

While defending champ Nelly Korda made an ominous move up the leaderboard only to endure a quadruple-bogey calamity on Thursday, Lee suffered a dismal start of her own, dropping three shots over the first two holes and never really rebounding as she ended with a two-over 74.

The 28-year-old from Perth was one over for the tournament at halfway, tied for 22nd nine behind surprise leader, Switzerland's Morgane Metraux, whose 66 thrust her to eight under for the tournament.
