(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Kim Joo-hyung (19) jumped to the top on the second day of the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour Puerto Rico Open (total prize money of $3 million).
Kim Joo-hyung caught 7 birdies in the second round of the 2nd round of the tournament held at the Grand Reserve Country Club (par 72, 7,506 yards) in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico on the 27th (Korean time), and hit 6 under par 66 by blocking one bogie. .
Kim Joo-hyung, who was in the 50th place with 71 strokes of one under par in the first round, recorded a total of 137 strokes for a total of 7 under par over two days, raising the ranking to 9th place with Lucas Glover (USA).
It is four shots from Brandon Woo (US, 11 under par 133 shots), who was the sole leader.
Kim Joo-hyung, who caused a sensation at the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Korean Tour Gunsan CC Open in July last year, set the record for the youngest professional player in the history of a tour (18 years and 21 days), and has also challenged the PGA Tour several times.
He will be able to aim for the best performance in the personal PGA Tour, which surpassed the tie for 33rd in the Corales Punta Cana Resort & Club Championship last September.
Kim Joo-hyung reduced three strokes in the first half by pulling out a birdie from the 10th hole (par 4), the first hole that day, and recording a continuous birdie on the 17th to 18th holes.
In the second half, a neat match was played in which only three buddies were thinned out without a look.
On this day, the fairway landing rate was only 57.14%, but the green hit rate was 83.33%.
The Puerto Rico Open is an “alternative competition” designed for players who have not been able to compete in the World Golf Championship (WGC) Workday Championship (total prize money of $10.5 million), which is held mainly for players within the 50th place in the world ranking.
With Brandon Wu, who won only one in the second part of the tour, took the lead, Greg Chalmers (Australia, 10 under par 134 strokes), Brendon Grace (South Africa 9 under par 135 strokes), Jonathan Vegas (Venezuela, 9 under par 135 strokes), etc. I put my name in this leading position.
Ahn Byung-hoon (30) cut 2 strokes and passed the cut to a tie of 51st (2 under par 142), and Bae Sang-moon (35) was unable to advance to the 3rd round, only at 83rd place (1 over par 145).
