Chan Kim Extends Lead at ISCO Championship with Flawless Performance
Chan Kim demonstrated his dominance at the ISCO Championship by achieving an eagle on the 4th hole for the second consecutive day. This time, the stroke of luck came with a 36-yard chip, culminating in a round of 2 under par (68) that allowed him to extend his lead to five strokes. On Thursday, Kim had impressed with a hole-in-one from 123 yards on the same hole 4, scoring a 61 to take the lead in the PGA Tour tournament, which also has the approval of the European circuit.Kim also birdied with a 35-foot chip on the 8th hole, reaching a total of 11 under par. Kris Ventura (64), Vince Whaley (67) and Thomas Rosenmueller (69) are tied for second place, with 6 under par.Obviously, the hole-in-one on the 4th again. I don’t know what the odds are of doing that, but man, if I could make four 2s on that hole, I’d be very happy.

Kim, 35, born in South Korea and raised in Hawaii, is seeking his first PGA Tour title after having won eight times on the Japan Golf Tour.I think this is a course where you just have to be patient. I know I shot 9 under yesterday, but the course 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 champion at Keene Trace, qualified for The Open and is playing in the Scottish Open. Kim started with a birdie on the 10th hole, but then suffered bogeys on the 11th, 16th and 1st holes. His eagle on the fourth came after a 333-yard drive that landed near the green. He also scored a birdie on the 7th hole and chipped in on the 8th hole.Just keep your foot on the gas. I know these guys are very good, someone will catch up to 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 to simply 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). Jackson Koivun, a student at Auburn University, finished at 1-under after a round of 66. Koivun had tied for 11th place last week at the John Deere Classic. J.B. Holmes, a Kentucky native, failed to make the cut after rounds of 74 and 72.I think it’s very important to accept that when you make a mistake, you simply accept it and move on with total confidence and plan your next move and see what you can do from there.
