Yoon Ina (Hite Jinro) succeeded in rebounding on the second day of the ‘Chris F&C 46th KLPGA Championship’ (total prize money of 1.3 billion won), the first major tournament of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour season.

In the second round of the tournament held at Lakewood Country Club (par 72) in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province on the 26th, Yoon Na made 8 birdies and no bogeys, hitting 8 under par 64.

On the first day, Yoon Ina got off to a bad start. He ended up tied for 82nd place, hitting only 1 over par 73, including three bogeys. It was difficult to avoid missing the cut if the shooting sense did not improve in the second round.

However, on this day, he hit a long shot of 277.4 yards on the 9th hole (par 4), and by making birdies, he quickly rose to the top.

Yoon Ina jumped to a tie for 9th place with a midterm total of 7 under par 137 strokes and entered the race for the championship. After her return, she will challenge for her first win of the season.

13 people, including Yoon Ina, Kim Su-ji (Dongbu Construction), Park Hyun-kyung, and Park Ji-young (Korea Land Trust), formed a joint 9th place group.

Bang Shin-sil (KB Financial Group), who returned from the LPGA Tour tournament, performed consistently in the second round following the first round. He exploded with 7 birdies and no bogeys, recording a score of 7 under par 65.

Bang Shin-sil, ranked 2nd in KLPGA long shots, hit six long shots over 270 yards, and showed off her dignity as the queen of long shots by hitting a long hit of 283.9 yards on the 15th hole (par 5). He recorded an intermediate total of 12 under par, 132 strokes, and rose to the sole lead.

Bang Shin-sil, who took second place at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open in the KLPGA season opener, is trying to shake off the disappointment of finishing second in this tournament.

Bang Shin-sil said, “Today was not physically easy, so I thought, ‘Let’s not lose concentration as much as possible.’ I did my best in each shot, and I think I held on well. “There were a few disappointing putts in the second half, but I’m still satisfied,” he said.

“I think the 3rd and 4th rounds will be more difficult, so I will control my condition well and endure as much as I can,” he said. “I have played in the champion group a few times, but I feel like I can’t concentrate if I am too greedy. “I think if I put my mind down and play for the remaining rounds, the results will follow,” he said.

Choi Eun-woo (Amano), winner of the Nexen/Saint Nine Masters, reduced 6 strokes and jumped to tied for 3rd place (9 under par, 135 strokes).
