This is Lee Jeong-eun6's 'comeback shot.'
On the 20th, at the Seowon Hills Course of Seowon Valley CC in Paju, Gyeonggi-do (Par 72, 6,647 yards), Lee Jeong-eun6 shot 4 under par in the second round of the LPGA Tour BMW Ladies Championship (total prize money $2.2 million), rising to a tie for 4th place (8 under par, 136 strokes). Starting from a tie for 16th place, 6 strokes behind, Lee Jeong-eun6 made 5 birdies (1 bogey). Despite the harsh conditions with strong winds, she energized the game with 'stepping stone birdies' on holes 4 and 6 and three consecutive birdies from holes 11 to 13. However, a bogey on the final 18th hole (par 4) was a blemish. She is 3 strokes behind the leader, with her second career win opportunity since the 2019 major US Women's Open.

In a post-round interview, Lee Jeong-eun6 said, "I am correcting my swing this season. I am gradually adapting and had a satisfying round." She smiled and added, "Today, the weather was cold and the wind blew in inconsistent directions, making it difficult, but I made many birdies." She continued, "I will focus on reducing missed shots rather than making good shots. I will do my best in the remaining rounds."
