Lim Seong-jae and Kim Si-woo bowed side by side on the second day of the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour World Golf Championship (WGC) Dell Technologies Match Play Championship.

Lim Seong-jae lost to Mark Leishman (Australia) by two holes in the second leg of the group stage held at the Austin Country Club (par 71) in Austin, Texas on the 26th.

Lim Sung-jae, who reported his first victory in match play, who played for the first time after beating Russell Henry (USA) the day before, became 1 win.

Im Seong-jae maintained balance with Leishman on the 11th to 14th hole, but began to be pushed back to the 15th hole (par 4), and could not narrow it down after widening further on the 16th hole (par 5).

On this day, Henry, who was in the same group, defeated Victor Peres (France), and in this group, all four of them recorded 1-1 and a fierce competition in the round of 16 until the last day.

Kim Si-woo, who drew with Tommy Fleetwood (UK) the day before, lost to Bryson Dishambo (USA) and lost 1 draw and 1 loss, making it difficult to advance to the round of 16.

Kim Si-woo succeeded in a birdie on the 11th hole (par 3) and went ahead, but DeChambo took the 8m birdie putt on the 14th hole (par 4) to balance the game. In the 15th hole (par 4), DeChambo outpaced Kim Si-woo, who wrote down watching the par, and Kim Si-woo was only seen in the 17th hole (par 3) and moved away by two holes from De Chambo, who kept the par.

Dustin Johnson (USA), the world’s No. 1 player, was a 1 win 1 draw against Robert McIntyre (Scotland), and Justin Thomas, 2nd place, was eliminated with 2 losses after losing by 2 holes to Kevin Keithner (above the United States). Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) beat Ranto Griffin (USA) by four holes to win 1 win.

Meanwhile, Bae Sang-moon, who started the PGA Tour Corales Punta Cana Resort & Club Championship, a “alternative competition” for players who cannot participate in World Golf Championship (WGC) Del Technology match play, stepped forward in the first round, leading 2 under par 70 strokes by Stefan Jaeger. It tied for 19th place, four strokes behind (Germany), giving a green light for passing the first cut this year.

Bae Sang-moon, held at the Corales Golf Club (par 72) in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, competed in five tournaments this season, but was eliminated four times, and in particular, failed to pass the cut in both tournaments this year. In September of last year, Bae Sang-moon tied for 28th in the competition.
