Jeon In-ji 13th, Yang Hee-young 23rd... Lewis Leads

Scottish Women's Open Even-Par Two Days in a Row, Danielle Kang Tied for 13th, Marching Toward Third Consecutive Victory

[Asia Economy Golf Specialist Reporter Kim Hyun-jun] Jeon In-ji (26, KB Financial Group, photo) rose to a tie for 13th place.

On the early morning of the 15th (Korean time) at the Renaissance Golf Club in North Berwick, Scotland (par 71, 6,427 yards), the second day of the LPGA Tour Scottish Women's Open (total prize money $1.5 million) ended with two birdies and two bogeys, maintaining her score to complete an even-par 142. She is five strokes behind the co-leaders Stacy Lewis (USA) and Azahara Mu?oz (Spain), who are at 5-under 137, placing her well within striking distance to compete for the championship over the remaining two days.

Jeon In-ji secured her 'direct ticket' to the LPGA Tour by winning the US Women's Open in July 2015. She has achieved a total of three wins, including the Evian Championship in September 2016 and the KEB Hana Bank Championship held in Korea in October 2018. Since then, she has been eager to win again. She expressed confidence, saying, "I will focus on playing without bogeys in rounds 3 and 4." In Korea, Yang Hee-young (31, Woori Financial Group) is tied for 23rd place (1-over par 143).

Danielle Kang (USA) is aiming for her third win of the season from a tie for 13th place. Following her wire-to-wire victory at the Drive On Championship, which resumed after a five-month suspension due to COVID-19 on the 3rd, she swept the Marathon Classic on the 10th, leading the money rankings ($570,000) and Player of the Year points (69 points), sweeping various individual titles. Lydia Ko (New Zealand) has joined this group.
