View original image[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] The "Golf Empress" Park In-bee (33, KB Financial Group) is sailing smoothly.
On the 30th, at the Tanjong Course of Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore (par 72, 6718 yards), during the second day of the LPGA Tour HSBC Women's World Championship (total prize money $1.6 million), she added 3 under par to maintain her position at the top of the leaderboard for the second consecutive day (11 under par, 133 strokes). Park Hee-young (34, Isu Group) joined the co-lead, while Kim Hyo-joo (26, Lotte) and Lin Xiyu (China) are tied for 3rd place (9 under par, 135 strokes), and Carlota Ciganda (Spain) is chasing in 5th place (8 under par, 136 strokes).
Park In-bee started with a one-stroke lead and recorded five birdies and two bogeys. Although she started shakily with a bogey on the 3rd hole (par 4), she showed her resilience with three consecutive birdies from the 7th to the 9th holes. After a bogey on the 12th hole (par 4), she immediately recovered with a birdie on the 13th hole (par 5) and added another birdie on the 15th hole (par 3). Leading the co-leaders by two strokes, she seized the opportunity for her second win of the season and 22nd career victory after a month since the Kia Classic last month. This is her third overall win at this tournament, following 2015 and 2017.
