Lim Seong-jae (25) and Keith Mitchell (USA) moved up one notch to a tie for second place on the second day of the PGA Tour Zurich Classic (total prize money: $8.6 million), reducing 5 strokes.
Seong-jae Lim teamed up well in the second round of the tournament held at TPC Louisiana (par 72, 7425 yards) in Avondale, Louisiana, USA on the 22nd (Korean time). In a foursome (alternate shot) game in which one ball is played alternately, 7 birdies and 1 double bogey were tied for a 5 under par 67, for a median total of 15 under par 129.
The two players, who jointly scored 10 under par in a four-ball (best-ball) game in which they play with their own balls and write down good scores, started the day with a birdie on the 2nd hole. In the 6th hole, Mitchell’s tee shot fell into the water and recorded a double bogey, but the number of strokes was reduced with a birdie in the following 3 holes. In the second half, after the 12th hole, he added birdies on the 16th and 18th holes and finished the game in a good mood. 토토사이트
