Indian women golfers Vani Kapoor and Sharmila Nicollet made an early exit from the Lalla Meryem Cup here on Friday.
Vani carded a brilliant 68 on the second day, but it was just not enough after a 79 on the first and she ended at 147, two shots off the cut. Sharmila also missed out with rounds of 79 and 72.
Gwladys Nocera from France fired a six under par 65 to take a one stroke lead into the weekend. Last year's runner-up fired six birdies including four in a row from the first hole on a glorious second day at Golf de L'Ocean in Agadir.
