24 year old Lee carded a three over par 75 in his second round at the Remuera Golf Club to be even par for the tournament.

Playing in his first tournament as a professional, Lee bogeyed the final hole to miss the cut by one stroke.

Compatriot Chandra shot 76 to be 12 over par after two rounds, with only five other players below him on the leader-board.

Australian Kris Mueck and New Zealander Josh Geary share the overall tournament lead at 12 under par midway through the tournament, one shot clear of the field.
