Se-young Kim "Slips to 6th"... Inbee Park 'Cut Off'

Gainbridge LPGA Day 2: Saxstrom Leads at 3 Under Par, "10 Under Par Unknown Sensation"

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] World No. 6 Kim Se-young (27, Mirae Asset, photo) faltered with a 3-under par.

On the 25th (Korean time) at Boca Rio Golf Club (par 72, 6,701 yards) in Boca Raton, Florida, USA, the second round of the 2020 LPGA Tour Gainbridge LPGA (total prize money $2 million) ended with Kim dropping to 6th place (7-under par 137). Starting tied for 2nd place, 2 strokes behind, she recorded 5 birdies and 2 bogeys. Considering she missed the green only once with her 'computer iron shots,' the score was rather disappointing. She was hampered by 33 putts.

She is 3 strokes behind the leader Madelene Sagstrom (Sweden, 10-under par 134), so the competition for the win is still very much alive. Sagstrom surged with a 10-under par round alone, creating an 'unknown storm.' She racked up 11 birdies (1 bogey), including 5 consecutive birdies from holes 5 to 9. Carlota Ciganda (Spain) is in 2nd place, 1 stroke behind (9-under par 135). Jennifer Song (USA), Hataoka Nasa (Japan), and Sydney Clanton (USA) are tied for 3rd place (8-under par 136).

From Korea, Choi Woon-jung (30) is tied for 28th place (2-under par 132), Ji Eun-hee (34, Hanwha Q CELLS) is tied for 34th place (1-under par 133), and Jeon In-ji (26, KB Financial Group) is tied for 47th place (even par 144). 'Golf Queen' Park In-bi (32, KB Financial Group) suffered the humiliation of missing the cut. Her iron shot green hit rate dropped sharply to 44.44% on the first day, resulting in a 2-over par struggle, and on this day, she remained at even par with 1 birdie and 1 bogey.
