[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is a breather for Moon Kyung-jun (38, photo).

On the 7th (Korean time), at the Education Golf Club in Doha, Qatar (par 71, 7,307 yards), the second day of the European Tour Commercial Bank Qatar Masters (total prize money $1.75 million) ended with a 1-under-par round, placing him tied for 21st (5-under-par 137). Andy Sullivan (England) and Jorge Campillo (Spain) are tied for the lead (10-under-par 132), while Just Luiten (Netherlands) and Oliver Fisher (England), among a total of five players, are tied for 3rd place, just one stroke behind (9-under-par 133).

Moon Kyung-jun started from a tie for 9th place, three strokes behind the leaders, recording five birdies, two bogeys, and one double bogey. He gained momentum with consecutive birdies on holes 2 and 3 and a birdie on hole 6 (par 5), but was hampered by a double bogey on hole 7 (par 4). In the back nine, he exchanged two birdies for two bogeys, failing to reduce his score further. His green hit rate dropped to 61.1%, making it difficult to create birdie opportunities. He is five strokes behind the joint leaders, still in a position to compete for the championship.

Sullivan and Campillo both shot 5-under-par rounds, quickly taking the top spots on the leaderboard. Nikolai Højgaard (Denmark), who led the previous day, shot even par and slipped to a tie for 8th place (7-under-par 135). Wang Jeong-hoon (25) is tied for 38th (3-under-par 139), and Lee Tae-hee (36) is tied for 48th (2-under-par 140), both advancing to the third round. On the other hand, Choi Jin-ho (36, Hyundai Steel) struggled with a 4-over-par round, tied for 107th (3-over-par 145), and was cut off.
