Seo Yeon-jeong (28, Yojin Construction), in her 11th year since her professional debut, challenges for her first win in the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour KG Ladies Open (total prize money of 800 million won).
Seo Yeon-jeong recorded 9 under par 63 strokes with 10 birdies and one bogey in the second round of her competition held at Sunning Point CC (par 72, 6748 yards) in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 2nd.
Seo Yeon-jeong, who shot 9 under par, one stroke behind her course record, posted her interim total of 11 under par 133, jumping from a tie for 23rd on her first day to the sole lead.
She is one stroke behind the group tied for second place, including Hwang Yu-min (20, Lotte) and Noh Seung-hee (22, Yojin Construction, 10 under par, 134 strokes), and will be thrilled with her first win in her life if she maintains the lead in the final round held on the 3rd. enjoy.
Seo Yeon-jeong turned professional in 2013 and is now in her 11th year as a professional, but she has not yet won a championship. He has been playing consistently on the KLPGA regular tour since 2014, but has only finished runner-up six times without winning.
This season, she also had to watch rookie Bang Shin-sil (19, KB Financial Group) win her first win in her debut as a runner-up at the E1 Charity Open.
If you win this tournament, you will experience the thrill of reaching the top in your 260th KLPGA event.
Seo Yeon-jeong showed off her heightened senses on this day. He caught 5 birdies in the first half alone, starting with the 1st hole (par 4), the 3rd hole (par 5), the 5th hole (par 3), the 6th hole (par 4), and the 8th hole (par 4). There were no short-distance birdies, and only successful putts from a distance of 3 to 6 meters were burdensome.
The momentum continued in the second half. He caught consecutive birdies in the 10th hole (par 4) and 11th hole (par 4), and this time he created an easy birdie chance with an accurate second shot.메이저놀이터
At the 13th hole (par 4), the only bogey of the day left a blemish, but he immediately made up for it with a birdie at the 14th hole (par 5). He then recorded consecutive birdies in the 16th hole (par 3) and 17th hole (par 4) and finished the match in the lead.
After the game, Seo Yeon-jeong smiled and said, “I knew 10 under par was the course record, but I played with my mind down. I was surprised myself. I felt like all my putts would go in, so I was more confident.”
As he neared his first win in his life, he said, “Winning doesn’t happen just by thinking about it, so I’ll put my mind down and take it easy. When I think back on the times when I missed out on winning, I always played too hard to protect myself. Tomorrow, I’ll try to be more aggressive.” I made up my mind.
Rookie Hwang Yu-min is aiming for his second win of the season. He followed closely behind Seo Yeon-jeong, adding 5 under par that day.
Noh Seung-hee, who was the sole leader in the first round, added 3 under par that day and fell to a tie for second place. However, there is still a possibility of a come-from-behind victory.
‘Queen of Autumn’ Kim Su-ji (27, Dongbu Construction), who won the Hanwha Classic, a major tournament last week, left a possibility with an interim total of 7 under par 137 strokes, tied for 6th place.
‘Korea’s strongest’ Park Min-ji (25, NH Investment & Securities) added 5 under par on this day and jumped to a tie for 9th place with an intermediate total of 6 under par 138 strokes.
