The world’s strongest women’s golf team continues to fight for the second consecutive championship despite the extreme heatwave.

In today’s second round game, the gap with the leading American player widened as the putting was slightly off, but our players showed strong confidence, saying that a comeback was possible.

In the sweltering heat, 2 rounds of ice bags and cooling towels were provided.

The players went more aggressive than the first day on the news that Round 4 could be canceled due to the impact of the approaching typhoon.

But the putt caught on.

Jinyoung Ko, who was tied for 4th in the first round, performed well by reducing three strokes in the first half, but the 11th and 14th putts missed the holes and made a painful bogey.

Tied for 6th at 7-under par in the mid-total.

Nelly Corda of the United States, who was ranked No. 1 in the world who played a round together, took the lead alone at 13-under by reducing nine strokes in one day alone…

Jinyoung Ko showed strong confidence even with a gap of six strokes.

“Even if that player (Nelly Corda) is number 1 in the world rankings, my feeling is that I am still number 1 in the world ranking, so there is no burden. I am thinking positively because I think that the 6th is a stroke that can be reversed at any time.”

Park In-bee, who boasted of computer putts, didn’t feel bad at first, but after missing a few short putts, he bogeyed with 3 putts on the last hole and could not reduce the number of strokes.

“I think I need to hit a lot of iron shots a little closer, and I think I need to make a lot of putts too. So it’s difficult overall, but it’s not impossible, so I’ll try hard.”

While Kim Se-young and Kim Hyo-joo are tied for 11th on a total of 4 under par, the organizers decided to start the match at the 1st and 10th holes at the same time from the 3rd round tomorrow to avoid the heat.

In addition, if the 4th round scheduled for the 7th cannot be held due to the influence of the typhoon, it was announced that the final round will be held on the closing day of the 8th.

There is no place to retreat any more.

As it is not a difference that cannot be caught up, our players are aiming for a reversal tomorrow with more aggressive and careful putting.
