Minjee Lee has endured a day of frustration but remains in the mix at the halfway point of the Buick LPGA Shanghai.
Despite hitting 16 of 18 greens, Australia's world No.4 could only manage a one-under-par 71 on Friday to slip from a tie for second to joint-eighth at eight under for the championship.
Lee offered a wry smile after finally draining her first birdie of the day at the last hole following a run of 17 consecutive pars.
