Kim Seong-hyeon misses the cut, Noh Seung-yeol withdraws Pendris takes the lead
Lee Kyung-hoon’s second round match
Lee Kyung-hoon, who is aiming to advance to the US PGA Tour playoffs, fell behind in the rankings on the second day of the 3M Open.
Lee Kyung-hoon shot five birdies in the second round of the tournament held at TPC Twin Cities (par 71) in Blaine, Minnesota, USA on the 27th (Korean time), but was held back by one double bogey and one bogey, only reducing his score by two strokes.
Lee Kyung-hoon, who shot a total of 136, 6 under par, dropped from a tie for 14th place the day before to a tie for 18th place.
Kyung-Hoon Lee, currently ranked 112th in the FedEx Cup rankings, must finish in the top 70 by the Wyndham Championship, the final tournament on the regular tour, to advance to the playoffs.
Taylor Pendris (Canada), who picked up 7 birdies without a bogey, took the sole lead with a mid-total score of 12-under 130, while Matt Nesmith (USA) is chasing after him in 2nd place (10-under 132), two strokes behind.
Pendris won his first PGA Tour event at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May.
Starting at the 10th hole, Lee Kyung-hoon gained momentum with two birdies early on, but ended up with a double bogey after hitting his second shot into the water hazard on the 14th hole (par 4) and receiving a one-stroke penalty.
After that, he seemed to change the mood by making three birdies, but he was unable to raise his ranking after making a bogey on the 9th hole (par 4).
Kim Seong-hyeon, who also needs to climb up the FedEx Cup rankings to advance to the playoffs, missed the cut with a combined score of 147, 5 over par, in the first and second rounds.
Noh Seung-yeol, who shot a 3-over-par 74 in the first round, withdrew in the second round. 파워볼사이트
