South korea’s hyung-sung in lead at oneasia golf meet

May 11, 2013 |

South Korea’s Kim Hyung-Sung fired a five-under-par 67 to take a one shot lead after the second round at the OneAsia GS Caltex Maekyung Open near Seoul on Friday.

Kim had six birdies and a bogey around the hilly 6,349 metre (6,943 yard) course at the Namseoul Country Club to stand at 10 under for the one billion won ($9,00,000) tournament.
Kim Gi-Whan also shot 67 to finish in second place, while Kim Dae-Sub was a stroke further behind after posting 66 in drizzly conditions.
The course lived up to its reputation as a graveyard for foreigners, with Australian overnight leader Terry Pilkadaris (75) the best of the non-Koreans in joint 10th place and five shots off the lead. Cho Min-Gyu (73), who shared the first round lead, was seven under.
“You can see it wasn’t very good weather, so I am very happy with my score,” said leader Kim Hyung-Sung. “This tournament is always won by great players, so to do well here would be something special for me.”
Defending champion Kim Bi-O came unstuck at the par-five 16th when his tee shot struck a tree, leaving him one under for the round and tournament so far.
