Choi Hye-jin (25, Lotte) and Yoo Hae-ran (23, Daol Financial Group) tied for 5th place in the second round of the Dana Open (total prize money of $1.75 million) on the U.S. LPGA Tour.
Choi Hye-jin and Yoo Hae-ran recorded a combined score of 7-under 135 through the second day of the tournament held at Highland Meadows Golf Club (par 71) in Sylvania, Ohio, USA on the 20th (Korean time), tying for 5th place. They
are 4 strokes behind Channeti Wannasen (Thailand, 11-under 131), who took the sole lead in the second round.
Choi Hye-jin, who took the sole lead with a 7-under par on the first day, fell in the rankings as she failed to reduce the number of strokes by trading 4 birdies for 4 bogeys on this day.
However, it was positive that she did not finish over par by catching a birdie on the last 18th hole (par 5).
Yoo Hae-ran added 3-under par by tying 5 birdies and 2 bogeys on this day, raising her ranking from 7th the previous day.
The two, who finished in the top 10 (Yoo Hae-ran 5th, Choi Hye-jin tied for 7th) at the Evian Championship held last week, will compete for the championship in this tournament where many top rankers are absent. Among the other Korean players, Jang Hyo-jun (21) tied for 26th place with a mid-total of 3-under par 139 strokes, while Lim Jin-hee (26, Angang Construction) and Jeon Ji-won (27) tied for 37th place with 2-under par 140 strokes. Kang Hye-ji (34), Joo Su-bin (20), Kang Min-ji (24), and Lee Jeong-eun (28) recorded an intermediate total of 142 strokes, which is even par and the cut line, and advanced to the 3rd and 4th rounds. 파워볼사이트
