Choi Gyeong-ju, 51, could not continue the momentum of the first day on the second day of the US Pro Golf (PGA) Tour Farmers Insurance Open ($7.5 million in prize money).
In the second round of the tournament held at the Tory Pines Golf Club South Course (par 72, 7,765 yards) in La Jolla, California, USA on the 30th (Korean time) on the 30th (Korean time), he grabbed a birdie and scored 5 bogies and hit a 4 over par 76. .
Choi Gyeong-ju, who hit 6-under-par 66 strokes on the book course the day before (par 72, 7,258 yards), was tied for fourth place, and fell to 40th place with a total of 142 strokes over two days.
This competition takes place on two courses. Rounds 1 and 2 alternate between the South Course and the North Course, and Rounds 3 and 4 are held only in the South Course.
During inclement weather, such as rain and hail on this day, players generally had a hard time reducing the number of strokes, and Choi Gyeong-ju moved to a longer and more difficult Nam course, and the rankings fell sharply.
Choi Gyeong-ju, who started from the 10th hole of the South Course, was particularly bad in the first half.
The first bogie came out on the 11th hole (par 3), and on the 14th-16th holes, it was shaken by a continuous bogie.
It was fortunate that I finished the first half by putting a 2.5m birdie putt after making a chance with an accurate third shot on the 18th hole (par 5).
Choi Gyeong-ju, who continued his par march in the second half, lost one more stroke in the 7th hole (par 4).
On that day, the fairway landing rate was 28.57% (4/14), and the green hit rate was 38.89% (7/18), both of which fell significantly from the first round.
Lim Seong-jae (23) lost two shots by tying three buddies, three bogies and one double bogie on the Nam course, and fell more than 20 places to the tie for 54th place (143 shots under the par).
Ahn Byung-hoon (30) passed the cut to 54th place by jumping over 30 steps while reducing one stroke on the book course.
Last week, American Express winner Kim Si-woo (26) lost 4 strokes on the South Course and was eliminated in the cut by staying in 80th place (even par 144) with No Seung-yeol (30).
Lee Gyeong-hoon (30) was a tie for 103rd place (2 over par 146 strokes) and could not pass the cut.
Viktor Hoblan (Norway) took the lead alone (9 under par 135), wielding a hard blow, reducing 7 strokes on the South Course, in the midst of the bad weather, where the game stopped for about an hour.’
In the joint second place (8 under par, 136 strokes), six people, Adam Scott (Australia) and Tony Pinau (USA), were named as the second place in the world rankings Yon Lam (Spain), who was considered a strong winner.
Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) was tied for 14th place (5 under par 139 strokes).
