The sky was clear and clear on Saturday, with white clouds floating in the sky. Although there was wind, the wind was not strong six holes. On the par-3 11th hole, he made a 15-foot birdie putt and then scored with two putts on the next hole. He sunk a 30-foot putt on No. 14 and then within 10 feet on No. 15.

Tang Rongze also shot 68, with a total of 136 in two rounds, 8 under par.

“I had some luck today. I hit the par-5 hole well, but I found the ball in the rough and cut it over to save par. It can be said that luck plays a big factor,” said Ji Yuai, “but overall I’m not satisfied, because I missed a lot of short putts, be it birdie putts or par putts.”

Ji Yuai made a breakthrough from leading from the first round to the final at Tianjin Panshan in April, and won by 5 strokes Now she has a chance to repeat it.

“I think we still need to maintain an offensive mentality and never be conservative. It’s still Tianjin’s style of play. This has never changed. It’s always attack, attack again,” Ji Yuai said.

Tang Rongze won Monday’s qualifying round and joined the list. Also starting in the afternoon, she birdied two holes at once, including a 30-foot putt on the first hole. She also had 5 birdies and 1 bogey The longest birdie putt came on the eighth hole, when she made a 65-foot putt.

Tang Rongze concluded by saying: “The putting is particularly satisfying. The distance control is much better. In addition, there are no mistakes on the tee. Stability has characterized the past two days.”

Tang Rongze remembers that she and Ji Yuai were in the same group as her when they were teenagers, and Ji Yuai’s long driving distance left a deep impression on him. Taking part in the Women’s China Tour for the fifth time this week, Tang Rongze said: “The difference of 2 strokes is not big, but Ji Yuai is a very good player, so I feel that the difference of 2 strokes stroke is still difficult to catch up.”

Chongqing player Li Dongmei started in the morning, caught 7 birdies, swallowed 2 bogeys, shot 67, and ranked third with 137, 7 under par. After Hong Jiening, a girl from Chinese Taipei, shot a 67, she and Sui Xiang (68) were tied for fourth place with a 36-hole score of -6, 4 shots behind.

For the second day in a row, the FILA GOLF Women’s Elite Tournament was not completed. When the game was suspended at 6:11pm, two players were still unfinished.

The suspension is not only the final round of the decisive battle, but also the effect of Typhoon “Bebiga” on the FILA GOLF Women’s Elite Tournament with a total prize money of 1.2 million yuan. According to the weather forecast, this year’s Typhoon No. 13 has already formed and may land on the Zhejiang coast as a strong typhoon or even a super typhoon in Shanghai, where the Women’s Elite Competition is held, is also affected.

Tang Rongze and other players must hope that there are still 18 holes left to come back, even if it is difficult to catch up when Ji Yuai leads. Ji Yuai herself also feels that it is better to complete three rounds, because she believes that such a victory is more complete and has a higher gold content.

“I’m definitely prepared for bad weather, but this is Chongming Island. I don’t know if it will be greatly affected. After all, the weather here is not exactly the same as weather forecast,” said Ji Yuai, “I definitely do well.
