Joohyung Kim’s initial pace was good. He started with a birdie on hole 2 (par 3), and also recorded birdies on holes 5 and 9, showing a good start with 2 under par. However, after the midterm, he faced a crisis as his shot faltered. He faltered somewhat in the middle round, but Kim Joo-hyung was able to maintain his top ranking by reducing one stroke each in the par 5 holes 15 and 18. Above all, it was the second round where Kim Joo-hyung’s greatest strength, shot accuracy, stood out.
Meanwhile, among Korean players, Lee Kyung-hoon (32) tied for 12th with 9 under par and 137 strokes, and Lim Seong-jae (25), who married last December, tied for 18th with 8 under par and 138 strokes. Meanwhile, besides the leader Morikawa, Scotty Scheffler and JJ Spun (above USA) tied for 2nd place with 14 under par 132 strokes by 2 strokes.
