[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] The second day of the Korean Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Korean Tour KB Financial Live Championship (total prize money 700 million won) was canceled due to severe weather.

The tournament organizing committee decided to cancel the second day of the event scheduled on the 28th at Blackstone Icheon Golf Club (par 72, 7,284 yards) in Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, as the game was delayed by heavy rain and lightning, making normal progress difficult. They explained that it was a decision made with "the safety of the participating players as the top priority." The tournament was reduced to 54 holes. This is the first time this year that the Korean Tour has been shortened to 54 holes due to weather. Defending champion Seo Hyung-seok (24) took the lead on the first day with 6 under par 66.
