Australian golfers Minjee Lee and Karrie Webb have narrowly survived the cut in the Canadian Pacific Women's Open.
Lee and Webb both carded two-over 73 to finish right on the cut-off line with a two-round total of 143.
They sit in a share of 59th place, nine shots behind halfway leader Chun In-gee of South Korea.
As Lee and Webb slipped off the pace, it was left to Sarah Jane Smith to finish the day as the best-placed Australian.
Smith fired a four-under par 67 after nailing five birdies to finish in a tie for 11th, four shots off the lead.
Recent tour winner Katherine Kirk missed the cut, along with Su Oh and New Zealand star Lydia Ko.
Chun carded her second consecutive four-under 67 on Friday to move to the lead after 36 holes.
Seeking her first LPGA victory of 2017, Chun expressed confidence that she is ready to end the drought after notching four runner-up finishes this season.
"I (had) a lot of seconds this year, but I think they were good memories for me and a good experience," the world No.7 said.
"I think I'm ready to win."
Chun's two LPGA victories have both been majors -- the 2015 US Women's Open and 2016 Evian Championship.
