[Asia Economy Reporter Seohee Lee] Kim Siwoo (27) and Kim Juhyung (20) continued the Korean Brothers' whirlwind.
On the 7th (local time), Kim Siwoo and Kim Juhyung both stood tied for 3rd place with a 10-under-par 132 in the 2nd round of the PGA Tour Shriners Children's Open (total prize money $8 million) held at TPC Summerlin (par 71) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. They were just 2 strokes behind the leader Mito Pereira (Chile, 12-under-par 130).
Kim Siwoo played a dramatic game that day. Starting off pleasantly with a birdie on the 1st hole (par 4), Kim Siwoo continued smoothly by making consecutive birdies on the 4th and 5th holes. However, on the 12th hole (par 4), his third shot fell into the water on the left side of the green, resulting in a one-stroke penalty, and his fifth shot passed the pin and went beyond the green, causing a triple bogey. Nevertheless, Kim Siwoo immediately added an eagle on the 15th hole (par 4) by sinking a picturesque bunker shot. He then added another birdie on the 16th hole (par 5), maintaining his position near the top for two consecutive days.
Kim Juhyung showed a more stable performance. After recording a birdie on the 2nd hole (par 4) in the front nine, Kim Juhyung swept up three consecutive birdies on the 5th, 6th, and 7th holes, significantly reducing his strokes. His scorecard was clean with no bogeys. Kim Juhyung lowered his score by 4 strokes that day, moving up one rank from the previous day.
Mito Pereira surged to the lead by lowering his score by 8 strokes in a single day. Robbie Shelton (USA) also made a fierce attack with an 8-under-par round, placing solo 2nd with a total of 11-under-par 131.
