Roseanne Niven dropped down from 16th to joint 36th in a field of 95 after a second-round 76 for four-over-par 148 in the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic at Ptarmigan Country Club, Fort Collins, Colorado.
It is the Crieff player's first event of the new 2008-2009 US women's college circuit.
The Scot, a student at the University of California-Berkeley, ran up a double bogey 6 at the 10th in her second round and achieved only one birdie, at the seventh, compared with four in her first circuit.
