[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] Kim Joo-hyung (18, CJ Logistics) continues to perform well.


On the 10th, at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling, Hong Kong (par 70, 6,710 yards), the second day of the Asian (APGA) Tour Hong Kong Open (total prize money $1 million) ended with him adding 2 under par to tie for 7th place (5 under par, 135 strokes). He is the player who caused a sensation by winning the Panasonic Open held in India last November. Starting the day tied for 6th place, 2 strokes behind, he recorded 3 birdies and 1 bogey. Above all, his 'needle-like iron shots' with a green hit rate of 83.33% stood out.



Wade Ormsby (Australia) leads by 2 strokes (9 under par, 131 strokes), with S.S.P. Chawrasia (India) chasing in 2nd place (7 under par, 133 strokes). Last year's APGA Tour money leader Jazz Janewattananond (Thailand) is tied for 3rd place (6 under par, 134 strokes). From Korea, Kim Tae-woo (27) joined the tie for 7th place alongside 'The Open Champion' Shane Lowry (Ireland). Jang Yi-geun (27) is tied for 15th place (4 under par, 136 strokes), while 'Korean Tour MVP' Moon Kyung-jun (38) slipped to a tie for 55th place (1 over par, 141 strokes) due to a poor performance with 3 over par.
