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.
