His performance included a bogey and seven birdies, highlighting three consecutive ones in the first half of the course.Brooke Matthews, from the United States, placed second after a round of 64, the best result of the day. Hyo Joo Kim and Rio Takeda shared third position, three strokes behind Kim. Matthews, with a bogey-free round, achieved birdies on his first two holes and on holes 17 and 18.There’s a lot of pressure on the third and fourth days, but I’m not the only one. Everyone will feel the same pressure. But I just want to accept the fact and enjoy the rest of the tournament.

Minjee Lee of Australia, shot a 66 and tied for sixth place, six strokes behind Kim. Brooke Henderson of Canada, was seven strokes behind the leader, while defending champion Hannah Green, was nine strokes behind. This event marks the start of two consecutive LPGA tournaments in South Korea, followed by the International Crown team event next week. Last week, Jeeno Thitikul became the first player with multiple wins on the LPGA this season.It’s funny, I didn’t feel very comfortable going into this week, playing in China last week, I really didn’t have my best game. But that made me go out and play shot by shot, lower expectations and I feel like I handled it very well. I just stayed in the moment and ended up making some putts and accumulating good scores.
