On the 4th, at the second day of the KLPGA Tour KG·Edaily Ladies Open (total prize money 700 million won) held at Turning Point Golf Club in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province (par 72, 6,722 yards), she added 2 under par to keep the lead (11 under par, 133 strokes). Lee Ga-young (22, NH Investment & Securities) is in second place (10 under par, 134 strokes), and ‘2-win champion’ Lee So-mi (22, SBI Savings Bank) is in third place (9 under par, 135 strokes), two strokes behind, continuing the chase.
Kim Su-ji started with a 3-stroke lead and recorded 3 birdies and 1 bogey. In the front nine, she reduced one stroke at the 7th hole (par 4), and in the back nine, she made ‘stepping stone birdies’ at the 10th and 12th holes. However, after playing ‘bogey-free’ for 14 holes, a bogey at the 15th hole (par 4) was disappointing. Leading by one stroke, she continued to hope for her first career victory. She said, "The pin positions were set difficultly, making play tough," and added, "Tomorrow, I will aim for the win with aggressive play."
