Seung-Yeol Noh (31) and Byeong-Hoon Ahn (31) marked a turning point in the middle of the PGA Tour Butterfield Bermuda Championship (total prize money of $ 6.5 million).
Noh Seung-yeol scored a 4-under 67 with four birdies with no bogey in the second round at Port Royal Golf Club (par 71, 6,828 yards) in Southampton, Bermuda on 29 (now Korean).
Noh Seung-yeol, who was in the top 60 with a 3-under par the day before, recorded an average total of 7-under 135 hits in two days, taking the leaderboard to 41st place.
Noh Seung-yeol, who won the PGA Tour by winning the Zurich Classic in 2014, lost his PGA Tour card this season because he didn’t finish 125th in the FedEx Cup rankings last season and didn’t finish in the top 25. in the second part of the final series of the Konferi Tour.
He participated in the Fortinet Championship in the opening game of the Fortinet Championship last month, but missed the cut, but had his second chance to play on the PGA Tour this season, where most of the top-ranked players were absent.
Noh Seung-yeol, who started the game on the 10th hole, collected three birdies, including a consecutive birdie from the 13th to 14th holes, in the first half, and reduced his momentum by another shot on the seventh hole (par 5) in the second half.
Ahn Byung-Hun, who was in 14th place with a 6 under par in the first round, reduced one shot to 4 birdies and 3 bogeys, but his ranking was heavily shifted and he was tied in 41st with Noh Seung -yeol.
He started from the first hole and caught three birdies in the first half, but it was disappointing to miss two shots in the second half.
With the sunset, the other Korean players had a hard time making it through the cut as the two players did not finish round two and moved on to the next day.
Bae Sang-moon (36) tied for 81st (4 under 138 strokes), Kim Seong-hyeon (24) tied for 93rd (3 under par 139 strokes) and Kang Sung-hoon (35 ) was tied for the 119th (143 hits over par). The current cut should be less than 6.
Ben Crane (USA), a 46-year veteran averaging 14 under 128, took the lead.
Crane, who took five PGA Tour wins, slashed nine strokes that day alone and leapt to the lead from parity to 29th place, facing the challenge of winning the championship for the first time in eight years since FedEx St. Jude Classic from June 2014.
Five people, including Adam Shenk (USA), tied for second place (13 under par 129) by one stroke, and five Dylan Wu (USA) tied for 7th (12 under par 130).
