However, it turned out that the door could be opened under current regulations, and the race commissioner apologized after Sorenstam’s second round.

Ko Jin-young, who was tied for fourth in the first round, was unable to reduce the number of strokes to an even par on this day, so the ranking went down to four-under-par 140 and a tie for 16th.
Kim Se-young, the second place in the world, lost two strokes and went on to the third round with a two-over par 146 and Sorenstam tied for 67th.
