Jang Soo-yeon maintained her leading position in the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour Sangsangin and Hankyung Wownet Open (total prize money of 1.2 billion won, winner’s prize of 216 million won).

Soo-yeon Jang hit 4 under par 68 with 6 birdies and 2 bogeys in the second round of the KLPGA tour tournament held at South Springs Country Club (par 72) in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do on the 19th.

The second round match, which was played the previous day, was stopped at 12:48 PM due to rain and resumed at 7:20 AM that day.

Jang Soo-yeon, who started the tournament in sole first place by hitting 7 under par on the first day of the tournament, reduced 4 strokes in the second round and maintained the highest position on the leaderboard with a total of 11 under par and 133 strokes.

Jang Soo-yeon, who won four times on the regular tour, has yet to taste a victory this year. Although he was listed in the ‘Top 10’ four times, his best result of the season was a tie for 4th place at the Daebo House D Open last month.

Through this competition, we aim for our first win of the season.

After the game, Sooyeon Jang said, “My feel for shots and putts have improved since the last few competitions. “The good feeling continued today and I was able to record 11 under par,” he said.

With an interim total of 10 under par 134 strokes, he ranked second, one stroke behind Jang Soo-yeon.

Hong Hyun-ji said, “I came out with the goal of being in the top 10 of this tournament, and the first and second rounds went well. “I want to maintain my current feel and aim for the championship,” he said.

Han Jin-seon and Lee Joo-mi, who hit a total of 9 under par 135, were tied for third place.

Kim Min-byeol, who is aiming to win for two weeks in a row, was only able to reduce her score by one stroke on this day and was tied for 21st place with an intermediate total of 5 under par 139 strokes.

Lee Ye-won, who has three wins this season and is competing with Park Hyun-kyung for the most wins, also tied for 21st place.

Yoon Ina, who ranks first in prize money, is tied for 43rd with 2 under par and 142 strokes.
