(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi In-young = Lim Seong-jae (23) swung the most consecutive birdie tie on the second day of the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour’The 5th Major Tournament’ Players Championship ($15 million in total prize money) .
Lim Seong-jae swept 8 birdies in the second round of the Players Championship held at the TPC Sawgrass (par 72, 7,189 yards) in Pontevedra Beach, Florida, USA on the 13th (Korean time), with 2 bogies and 6 under par 66. I hit it.
With the event stopped at sunset, Lim Seong-jae is tied for fifth place, following Lee Westwood (England, 9-under-par 135 strokes) by three strokes, recording 138 strokes in the middle of a 6-under par.
The day before he hit Even Par, he raised the ranking by 38 places from a tie for 42nd place.
Im Seong-jae, who started from hole 10, caught a birdie in hole 11 (par 5) and started.
Afterwards, Im Seong-jae ran a six-hole birdie march from hole 15 (par 4) to hole 18 (par 4) and hole 1 (par 4) and hole 2 (par 5) in the second half with impeccable shots and putts. We climbed to the joint lead.
The six-hole buddy is the record for the most consecutive buddy tie ever in the Players Championship.
Afterwards, Im Seong-jae dropped the ball into the bunker in the 5th hole (par 4) and the 7th hole (par 4) and wrote down his examples.
However, after finishing the last hole 9 (par 5) with a birdie, they entered the third round from the top 5 spot.
Westwood took six birdies without a look, reducing six strokes and taking the lead alone.
Westwood, a 48-year-old veteran, has maintained a good trend, ranking second only at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week.
Bryson DeChambo (USA), who aims to win two weeks in a row following the Arnold Palmer Invitational championship, is also tied for fifth place with Lim Seong-jae. On this day, DeChambo scored a double bogie on the 10th hole (par 4), but caught 5 birdies and hit 3 under par 69.
Doug Kim, a Korean-American, is also tied for fifth place.

Kim Si-woo (26), the winner of the 2017 tournament, cut two strokes on that day and is tied for 22nd with a middle total of 142 strokes.
Kim Si-woo got a good mood at the beginning, catching 3 birdies in 6 holes in the first half.
However, the flow could not be continued by writing down the examples in the 8th hole (par 3) and 11th hole (par 5).
In particular, in Hall 11, Kim Si-woo was disturbed by a gallery that made a noise every time he shot. Kim Si-woo, who became sensitive, couldn’t hide his displeasure as he looked toward the sound.
However, Kim Si-woo did not lose at-bats anymore and caught a birdie on the 15th hole (par 4).
Lee Gyeong-hoon (30) cut one stroke and is tied for 37th with 143 strokes in the middle and one under par.
Kang Seong-hoon (34), who recorded a total of 13 over par, and Ahn Byung-hoon (30), who recorded a total of 17 over par, with one hole left, were eliminated from the cut (even par).
Ahn Byung-hoon was satisfied with washing away the nightmare of the 17th hole (par 3). The 17th hole of this competition is short at 143 yards, but the green is floating like an island on the lake, making it a’signature hole’ that players are struggling with.
Ahn Byung-hoon recorded an’octuple look’ in which he drowned the ball four times in this hole in the first round the day before and got out after 11 strokes and lost 8 strokes.
However, on this day, Ahn Byung-hoon put the ball on the green neatly at a time with a tee shot, and was delighted by raising both arms. Congratulations applause also burst out.
