(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Dong-chan = U.S. Professional Golf (PGA) Tour American Express ($6.7 million in total prize money).
In the second round of the second day of the tournament held in La Quinta, California, USA on the 23rd (Korean time), Lim Sung-jae recorded 7 birdies without seeing it, with a median total of 11 under par and 133 shots, ranking the first place alone.
Lim Seong-jae, who significantly raised the ranks from a tie for 15th in the first round, inflated the possibility of winning two tours after the Honda Classic last March.
In an interview after the game, Im Seong-jae said, “I haven’t putt well in the last few weeks, but today my shot was good and my mid-range putt was so good.” “I finished 12th and 10th in this competition for two years. I feel comfortable,” he pointed out the reason for the promotion of this competition.
He expressed satisfaction, saying, “It was a course that fits me well and draws well in my eyes, so I was able to play with confidence,” and “The shot went well for 18 holes.”
Lim Sung-jae, who was one stroke ahead of the tied second-place players, explained, “I didn’t draw a line on the ball recently, but today, drawing a line once and hitting that line has helped a lot for putt.”
Im Sung-jae, who had spent practicing in the US without returning to Korea at the end of the year, introduced the recent situation, saying, “I’ve been living in Atlanta for about a month and a half.”
