Lim Sung-jae shot a 9-over 80 on the second day of the tournament at Innisbrook Resort Copperhead Course (par 71) in Palm Harbor, Florida, on the 23rd (Korea time), ranking 146th out of 152 players with an interim total of 10 over par.
Im Sung-jae played 9 over par, an amateur score on the back nine. After exchanging one birdie and one bogey in the first half, Im Sung-jae failed to catch one birdie in the second nine holes, however. Instead, he committed double bogey at 11 and 14 par-5 holes, respectively, and triple bogey at 13 par-3 holes. He then holed out with consecutive bogeys at the 16th and 17th holes.
At Hole 11 (par 5), a home run ball appeared during a bunker shot, and at Hole 13 (par 3), a tee shot fell into the water, before losing three pars with four on two putts. At Hole 14 (par 5), Lim played his third shot with 69 yards to the pin, but the ball flew 75 yards to fall into rough, and overlapped with three putts. 토토사이트 순위
Lim has been struggling due to the lack of accuracy of his long-term iron shots in this season. He only tied for fifth in the opening game of The Sentry, but never made the top 10 in other competitions. Lim also tied for second with 73.08 percent accuracy in driver shots on the day, but tied for 81st with 55.56 percent accuracy in green shots.
Due to inaccurate iron shots, he also failed to make six appearances in bunkers on the day, but his sand saving rate was 33 percent, which was quite poor. As his iron shot faltered, his putting collapsed as well. Lim Sung-jae is tying for 144th in this year's event, the lowest among all players, with an average of 31 putts per round.
50-year-old veteran Stewart Cink of the U.S. shot a 4-under 67 to tie for the lead with Kevin Strillman, Chandler Phillips, Brandon Todd, and McKinsey Hughes of the U.S. at 6-under 138. Cink, who had a chance to win the Champions Tour two weeks ago, showed off his old skills by reducing his pars by four with one eagle, five birdies and three bogeys despite strong winds.
Korean American Michael Kim shot four under par to tie for sixth place with Justin Thomas and Lucas Glover (U.S.). Lee also cut four strokes with one eagle, three birdies and one bogey to tie for 15th with four under par with 138.
