Ko Jin-young, who won this competition twice in 2019 and 2021, seems to have gone on a two-rabbit hunt of recapturing the top and winning the third championship in two years.
After winning her first win this season at the HSBC Women’s World Championship in March, Ko Jin-young, who had only been in the top 10 twice in four competitions and had not had a chance to win two, wrote down 60 at-bats in two days in this competition and looked like a candidate for the championship. showed off his athleticism.
Unlike the first round of the previous day, which had some ups and downs, Ko Jin-young played a clean game that day, picking out 4 birdies without a bogey.
She missed the green three times, just like the previous day, but showed her concentration by not losing a stroke.
“Today, I made a lot of really good shots and putts a lot. I can’t pick one or two, but overall I think I had a really good game,” said Jinyoung Ko. I thought it would be important not to do it. I will do my best not to bogey in the remaining rounds of the weekend.”
Ko Jin-young, who recently participated in the tournament for four consecutive weeks, said, “I was too tired yesterday, so I actually couldn’t sleep deeply. “I’m playing with my heart,” he added.
Kemp, 74th in the world rankings, who won 13 victories in Australia but has not played a significant role on the LPGA tour, scored a 7-under-par 65 that day to join the lead.
“I think about winning every tournament. This one is the same,” said Kemp, “even if the chances of winning are small, if I keep moving in the right direction, I will win one day.”
The remains of a V-shape for victory.
