'Nine birdies' gives Lee Tae-hee a 1-stroke lead after 2R at KB Financial Live Champi

Four-time KPGA Tour winner Lee Tae-hee (40, OK Savings Bank) carded nine birdies to take a one-shot lead on the second day of the KB Financial Live Championship ($700 million in prize money).

Lee carded nine birdies and two double bogeys for a 5-under 67 in the second round of the tournament at Blackstone Golf Club North-West Course (par 72-7270 yards) in Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, on Thursday. With a two-day total of 8-under-par 136, Lee holds a one-stroke lead over the second-place group.

Teeing off on the 10th hole of the day, Lee carded five birdies on the front nine to drop five strokes in the first half. After birdieing the first hole of the second round (par-5), Lee's tee shot on the second (par-4) landed in the rough, costing her a layup, but she got the ball on the green in just her fourth shot and two-putted for a double bogey. Lee then faltered and bogeyed the fourth (par-4) and fifth (par-5) holes, but made up for it with back-to-back birdies on the next three holes to take the lead.

After the tournament, Lee told the KPGA Tour, "The course is difficult and I'm happy with just one stroke a day, but I didn't realize I made so many birdies. It was choppy, but looking at my score, I feel really good," Lee said.

"My iron shots were really good, almost all of them on the green and near the pin, and my approach around the green was really good, so I didn't have any putts that had to go up two or had a steep downhill slope. My putts were also in good shape," he said, explaining the secret of his victory.

Lee, who made his KPGA Tour debut in 2006 and won four times, has not won since the 2020 Maekyung Open. This season, he has two top-10 finishes in six appearances on the KPGA Tour, including a tie 카지노사이트 for seventh at the SK Telecom Open last week, his best finish of the season.

"I had a hard time managing my stamina during the Asian tour, even though I worked out a lot, so my shots were a little shaky," said Lee. My par-saving percentage has been high in recent years. My putts were good, but my stamina was shaky, so my shots didn't go as well as I wanted, especially in the short game. But I'm getting better and better," he said, adding that he was confident of his chances of winning, saying, "I'm going to try and play well all weekend as the weather is forecast to be good."

Behind Lee are Kim Han-byul (28-SK Telecom) and Kim Yong-tae (25-PXG), who are tied for second at 7-under par 137, one stroke behind Lee. Tae Hoon Lee (Canada) is tied for fourth at 6-under 138, while Hwang In-chun (50-3H Chiropractic Bed), Kim Chan-woo (25), Heo In-ho (37-Keumgang Housing), Kim Woo-hyun (33-Vanair), Jang Dong-gyu (36-Amazing Cree), Lee Hyung-joon (32-OK Savings Bank), Ok Tae-hoon (26-Keumgang Housing) and 10 others are tied for fifth, setting the stage for a fierce battle for the title.

The cut for the tournament was an even-par 144. Defending champion Kim Dong-min (26-NH Nonghyup Bank) missed the cut, along with Hyun Jeong-hyeop (41-Kukon), Song Min-hyuk (20-CJ), Ham Jeong-woo (30-Hana Financial Group), Jang Yubin (22-Shinhan Financial Group), Cho Woo-young (23-Woori Financial Group), Jung Chan-min (25-CJ), and Hwang Joong-gon (32-Woori Financial Group), who recorded a hole-in-one on the first day of the tournament.

The tournament organizers will provide a cut-off payment of 300,000 won per player to those who missed the cut.

1-5 LG's upset was all about Shin Min-jae's 'feet', starting and finishing

In front of a packed house, it was the feet of LG's Shin Min-jae that decided the game between LG and KIA in Jamsil. It was Shin's foot that opened the door for a late rally and scored a dramatic comeback.

On the 26th, LG was helpless until the fifth inning against KIA in Jamsil. They gave up four runs in the third inning, and four more in the fourth. Austin opened the scoring with a triple in the bottom of the first inning, but the bats were silent after that. They were unable to capitalize on Kia starter James Nail.

However, in the fifth inning, the game started to take a strange turn. Down 1-5, Shin Min-jae came to the plate with two outs. On 2B 2S, Nail's seven-pitch slider hit the outside low-country ABS zone. Catcher Kim Tae-goon dropped the ball for a potential double play, but all he had to do was pick it up and throw to first base for the out. However, he misread the count and threw the ball to the pitcher instead of first base. Shin Min-jae sprinted to first base just as Kim's back was turned and he was heading for the dugout. Nail, who took over the ball, threw hard to first base, but the speedy Shin got there first. What should have been a double play became a 1-2-3 double play. Nail looked at Kim Tae-goon in confusion, and Kim Tae-goon couldn't help but make a cool face.

Nail's bad luck didn't end at the feet of Shin Min-jae. He then walked Hong Chang-ki to load the bases with one out. He then induced a hard grounder to second base to pinch-hitter Park Hae-min, but there was another twist. The ball was rolling toward second baseman Kim Sun-bin when it suddenly bounced up big. It became an irregularly-bound hit that the second baseman couldn't catch. Two runners came home. Two batters later, Moon Sung-ju followed with another RBI single to make it a 4-5, one-run game. It was a series of bad luck for Nail, but it was also a situation that 카지노사이트 would not have happened without Shin Min-jae's sprint.

Shin's feet shined again the very next inning. 5-6, 2nd and 1-2. Park Dong-won doubled to second, Shin Min-jae to first. Park Hae-min singled to right. Shin Min-jae, who was running behind him, glanced toward first base and sprinted home without slowing down for a second. The opposing infield pounced on the overrunning Park Hae-min. Kia shortstop Park Chan-ho hurriedly threw home, but Shin was faster this time. It was 7-6, and the game ended with that score. LG, which dropped all three games in Gwangju from Sept. 9-11, avenged itself by taking the first game of the weekend series in Jamsil.

"Kia second baseman (Kim) Sun-bin was trying to see where my brother was throwing the ball, but (Park) Hae-min had his eyes on him," Shin explained of the fifth inning that led to the game-winning run. "I thought it was going to be a home run, so I ran in." In the heat of the moment, he quickly caught the opposing defense's movements and made a decision without hesitation.

Shin's split-second judgment also paid off in the fourth inning. "I deliberately turned around behind the catcher and ran to first base," he said. "I thought that if the catcher saw me running, he would throw it directly to first base, so I deliberately turned around." Shin denies it, but the proper "acting" and sprinting earned him a valuable out and led to a big inning in the chase.

KKKKKKKKKK debut as a pedigree sweeper, with a challenge to prove why he came.

 He proved why he came. 

Nail pitched a dominating game two of the midweek series against the Lotte Giants at Gwangju-Gia Champions Field on April 27. He allowed one run (one earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out nine in six innings of work, earning the win in his first career start in the team's 6-2 victory. 

Nail left the exhibition game on a high note. "I'm excited to pitch in front of a packed stadium with opening day just around the corner. I'm looking forward to pitching in front of a packed stadium and proving to the fans why I'm here," he said confidently. Indeed, he did so in a dazzling first inning to earn his first win. 

From the first inning, the sweeper's power shone through. He struck out Yoon Dong-hee, Ko Seung-min, and Leroyes on swinging strikes. In the second inning, Na Seung-yeop and Choi Hang struck out with sweepers in a 1-1 count. In the third inning, he walked leadoff hitter Yoo Kang-nam and induced Park Seung-wook to ground into a double play. He also struck out Yoon Dong-hee. 

In the fourth, he gave up an error and a stolen base to Ko Seung-min, but retired the next three batters with one strikeout. In the fifth, he gave up a double to Yoo Kang-nam in the second inning, but Park struck out the side again. In the top of the sixth, he gave up a leadoff single to Ko Seung-min. He then gave up back-to-back singles, but got help from second baseman Kim Sun-bin, who blocked both batted balls to preserve the quality start. 

He did not return to the mound until the seventh inning. He stayed on the mound with a variety of pitches, including a two-seam (29), sweeper (21), changeup (17), cutter (12), fastball (5), and curve (1). His fastball topped out at 150 mph. He was hit by a three-hitter when he reached 70 pitches. This is an area of ​​improvement. 

Yang Hyun-jong and his teammates rushed Nail as he finished his podium interview and doused him with water to celebrate his first win. Manager Lee Bum-ho also presented a bouquet of flowers. "Nail, who was the starter today, pitched a perfect game. He had good movement on his two-seam and sweeper, and his changeup against lefties was also powerful. Both his pitches were good," Lee said.

"Overall, I was happy with the game," Nail said. I tried to pitch aggressively, especially in the first inning, when the batters were scoring a lot of runs, so I was able to attack the strike zone more aggressively. I also felt comfortable with my catcher, Kim Tae-gun. We have a lot of good chemistry and we know each other's styles, so I think it led to good results," said Kim.

At the same time, they also set challenges. "My sweeper worked well, but I think I need to work on my fastball a little bit in terms of control and command. I'm going to focus on improving my fastball as I prepare for my next start. I gave up back-to -back hits and a run in the sixth inning, and it was my first six-inning start in a long time, so I think I was a little overworked. I'll work on that in my next outing."
