Chan Kim continues to dominate the ISCO Championship, extending his lead to five strokes after an outstanding performance this Friday. Kim, known for his skill on the course, achieved an eagle on the 4th hole for the second consecutive day, this time with a 36-yard chip, leading him to a score of 2 under par, with a total of 68. On Thursday, at the Hurstbourne Country Club, Kim holed out from 123 yards on the 4th hole and signed a card of 61, establishing a four-stroke lead in this PGA Tour event, also sanctioned by the European Tour.Kim also birdied with a 35-foot chip on the 8th hole, reaching 11 under par. Kris Ventura (64), Vince Whaley (67) and Thomas Rosenmueller (69) were tied for second place, with 6 under par.Obviously, hole 4 again. I don’t know what the odds are of doing that, but if I could make four 2s on that hole, I’d be very happy.

Kim, 35, a former Arizona State player, born in South Korea and raised in Hawaii, is seeking his first PGA Tour title, having won eight times on the Japan Golf Tour.I think this is a field where you just have to be patient. I know I shot 9 under par yesterday, but the field isn’t playing that easy.

The tournament winner will receive a two-year exemption and a spot in next year’s PGA Championship. Harry Hall, last year’s winner at Keene Trace, qualified for The Open and is playing the Scottish Open. Kim started with a birdie on the 10th hole, then had bogeys on the 11th, 16th and 1st holes. After the eagle on the fourth hole, followed by a birdie on the seventh and the chip on the eighth.Just keep my foot firm. I know these guys are very good, someone is going to catch up with me. I already know that. The best thing I can do is handle myself like I did when I won all those events, and that is just to be patient and play my game.

David Skinns (64) finished at 5 under par, along with Rico Hoey (67), Zac Blair (66), Kevin Kisner (69), Nick Hardy (68), Callum Tarren (68), Paul Peterson (68), and Beau Hossler (68). Auburn senior Jackson Koivun finished 1-under after a 66. Last week he tied for 11th at the John Deere Classic. J.B. Holmes, a Kentucky native, didn’t make the cut with rounds of 74 and 72. He played with a sponsor exemption.I think it’s very important to accept that when you make a mistake, just accept it and come out with full confidence and plan your next move and see what you can do from there.
