Well good afternoon and a very warm welcome to a soaked and saturated Friday here at the tanamera country clubs tampones course Timothy low here wonderful to have your company for day two action at the klpga TOS curtain Razer to the 2024 season but unfortunately just like yesterday we’re

In the middle of a deluge of rain State the obvious if you dare that’s what the weather report says it’s rainy it’s still a pretty warm 31° C and the wind well coming out of the Northwest not really helping to break up the cloud cover that descended upon the tanese

Course just about an hour ago play was suspended and 8 players in the field this week nine different nationalities represented the bulk of which you can guess coming from South Korea but strong representation as well from Thailand Malaysia Singapore and Beyond Patty tavatanakit the big star draw coming

Into the week she went out in the afternoon session yesterday unfortunately had to come back bright and early at 7:30 to resume her opening round eventually Patty posting a round of 67 when all was said and done and then a quick turnar around for the tie went

Back out again leading to get her second round started that was a birdie at the 14th she would add another here at the PA or 15th Patty turned in 35 lovely approach there to the power 4 and rather soft conditions ideal for scoring really the afternoon starters on day one with the

Good side of the draw that one curling in for a birdie her fifth of the day unfortunately would drop a shot at the power for 17th but still 69 leaves tavatanakit very handily placed going into the weekend stages of this championship this was that 17th old just

Not getting enough purchase on that to clear the little Ridge it splits the screen and what you’re going to notice around this tanese course if you’re on the wrong side if you’re in the wrong section of some of these greens well putting can be a problem as Patty found out here

Yeah did the hard part of that Co it up close but there are no gimmies around this Phil Jacobs designed tanese course boogy for Patty make a punch he started her second round on the back nine so that got her back to two underpath for her round and seven under

For the championship so made the turn in 34 got round to the front line of the golf course part the first the second hole a real Beast demanding driving hole really plays into the hands of the longer hitters and the great ball Strikers like to have a

Tanit great little mid iron in there to set up this birdie opportunity and one that she would take looking for her third win in four weeks is the Tie former rookie of the year on the LPG tour wrong side of the slope at the tricky PA 34th just undercooking that pit shot

Giving herself a fair amount of work to do unfortunately that one not finding the target for Patty T So a second bogey of the day the former winner of the Ana inspiration now known as the Chevrons Championship major title on the LPGA Tour but she would bounce straight back

Remember found this par five in two yesterday she would do that again on Friday that was an eagle opportunity sliding by but another simple two-part birdie taking tavatanakit up to eight under par quartet of pars to end her second round so she’ll sits at 8 under par going into the

Weekend they have an opportunity to extend that to nine under but unfortunately putter misbehaving for the girl from Bangkok still two rounds of the 60s your pre-tournament favorite living up to that billing currently a andal good enough for a share of eighth then well a site we have

Become all too familiar seeing in this part of the world the Hooter going and a suspension of play for the third time in fact this week he was halted right around 2:30 yesterday s of delaying progression of the first round players did get back out

In the golf course at 4:00 but play was suspended at 6:55 p.m. local time Thursday evening not due to Darkness but due to another approaching thunderstorm round one restarted at 7:30 this morning got through a fair amount of golf before right around 3:00 local time HOA went again a deluge of rain I

Mean look look at that you can AR even see that 18th Fairway such was the State of Affairs just about half an hour ago course is saturated and flooded Adrian Thung and his team at tanira Country Club going to do everything they can to try and get

That course back into play into shape to play but for now no further golf once again we’re in a weather delay here at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open and unfortunately as Mighty Mouse the weatherman is going to tell you things aren’t looking much better in the future

You see that big cell developing right over the eastern part of Singapore where we are this week at the tanira Country Club not too far from Changi Airport not looking good for any more live golf in this second round opportunity for some of the players to

Catch a little bite there is 18 time to winner par mini passing the time she was in one of our featured groups for this afternoon alongside natak vona and Kim mol who really struggled on day one 75 for last year’s Rookie of year you can see here there in the

Red being told that the storm will pass in about half an hour’s time but the the big question is how are we going to get that Golf Course back into playable shape saw it a little bit earlier on a lot of water starting to pond in the fairways and

Couple of low-lying spots in the greens yeah I promise you we’ll see some live live golf at some point over the next 3 days just not going to be for the foreseeable future this Friday afternoon keep those fingers and toes crossed folks and pray that this rain goes away For For In well if you’re just joining us hoping to see some day two action from the second Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open unfortunately I must be the bearer of bad news once again because as you can see from your screens right there the course is absolutely soaked big

Thunderstorm rolled in just over an hour ago at the Tampa e course and well it is Thoroughly soaked and saturated so play was suspended just past 300 p.m. local time the morning starters they’re pretty much done and dusted and if you want to know what the

State of Affairs at the top of the leaderboard looks like there you have it Kim J he delightful round of 66 yesterday from Kim she’s currently four under apart with just two goals left to play and she’s finishing on the easiest side of this golf course eight and nine

The amateur OSU Min well she’s put together some fine golf but why don’t we entertain you with some earlier coverage from this morning’s session while we wait for this this rain to pass not going to be entertaining the thought of going for this green in two H Jong the defending

Champion trying to leave it handy into this par five for her third shot just coming off her first bogey of the day at four still it’s been a productive day at the office three under the card for par K te here another birdie for her she

Gets herself up to 11 under three clear of the amateur oh well 24 hours to go tavat tanet three-wood off the te and a three-wood that scared The Living Daylights out of Wango Min company a hit on the green that found this power five and two two

Big hits for tavatanakit set up an eagle opportunity she would go on to snuggle that one down close and walk off with pretty straightforward two part birdie it’s a 516 yd hole you’re hitting a three-wood off the te and still attacker to such as the power of Patty

T does lightning strike twice for the tie almost in an identical spot she likes it oh doesn’t she just keep on going it’s even better than the shot yesterday from tavatanakit that’s absolutely Sublime stuff from Patty T these are your featured groups in the morning section of the

Wave choer Rim alongside Jen and Singaporean stall amandan first Singapore to win on the China lpj tour a couple of years ago Madam winner last season in the company of Hong gwan double major champion in PKU Young Who won her first kpj to a title in her

279th start last year at the dbo house T open Jong Yuni hang yo Min and the Thai sensation jarvi bunan teed off at half N9 this morning and just behind them our featured group yesterday and well today Park G young leoan last year’s Player of the Year and Patty tatan at highest

Rank competitor in the field this week in Singapore they got their second round started a little bit behind schedule at 9:4 a.m. local time T times were pushed back about an hour and 10 minutes with the delay of play caused by the thunderstorms yesterday and hango men has been on an absolute flyer

Disappointing round yesterday for you in a 73 but four birdies in her last six holes on her back nine 30’s at one and two and that almost an ace at the six she’s going to have that to get to eight under for her round What A Difference A Day Makes year

One see that pin on five cut seven pieces from the right Edge just got to make sure you’re right of that little spine sort of protrudes onto the front of the green curently flirting with that projected cut Mark of even par is year one and a birdie there is going to make

Her feel a little bit more comfortable she’s finishing on the slightly easier side of the golf course 789 lot easier to tackle than 16 17 cross to six and Jung Yan G over with a round of 70 yesterday picked up three birdies already this Friday morning and she keep it

Going pin on just seven Paces on the right hand side of the screen oh how about those three t-shots from jery bunchan Wango Min and Jong Yun G you fig at least two of them are going to make putts for birdie now back to G young 9 89 million Korean one collected last

Season three titles including her first major at the KB Financial Group star championship at Inon you think that’s going to be a pretty much guaranteed birdie four as she did yesterday on this fifth which did play as the easiest hole in the tanese course for the opening round championship leader by

Three J he just out of the left rough here at nine pins in that front section so even if you’re 10 15 yards short of the green it’s not too difficult but what you don’t want to do is go long could be some problems there for the tournament leader no easy to

Put so Patty T sizing up this Eagle putt dominant in her victory at the aramco lady Saudi International in Riad had to fight hard for that second LPG to a title at the Honda LPGA just a fortnite ago good finish last week at the HSB Women’s World Championship you have to

Feel she’s a little she’s running on fumes at this point winning takes a lot out of you traveling as much as she has takes a lot out of you to her Eternal credit she’s here to win she’ll be the first to tell you that not going to be an eagle at the fifth

But you feel it’s going to be a guaranteed to part birdie as we jump up to Jung Yun g a birdie here got to be careful with this really wants to get away from you if you don’t hit it with enough conviction just try to Ram that one

Straight and seen that a lot from Yuni Through The Years excellent iron play creates a lot of opportunities but bulky pter the main culprits of why she has it one more than she has just that one title coming two seasons ago at the E1 charity ladies open

Now yeah one to just give herself a little bit of breathing room into the last couple of holes birdie look here should want to move a fraction to her left stayed straight on her 74 yesterday left her scratching her head she’s picked up a couple of shots

Around the turn but right now it’s teetering on that cut line and even par jarvi bunchan hopefully would have learn from Johnny and G’s but this one’s going to be started just inside right half and that’s three birdies on the bounce for jarvi bunchan who’s all of a sudden sprung into life

And got herself inside the top 20 such a steady customer is Park G young it’s another solid birdie takes the defending Champion inside the top 10 at five under bar go up ahead to what looks like the par 58 JN s coming up the hill flag as it was

Yesterday in that front corner the front section of the green lot easier to throw a few darts in there but it’s probably a six out of 10 there for E Sun Patty to just tidy things up here okay up to a share a second with u in four holes left to play you

Feel should be odds on favorite to pick up at least one shot in that closing stretch and here one what a season she had last year coming off her Stella rookie campaign saw her win Rookie of the Year honors in 2022 bagged a bunch of victories in four

Runner UPS last year and 1.4 billion Korean one in single season earnings actually going to top that in 2024 now to the 22y old who turn 23 on Sunday now she’s in full position to give herself the best birthday present from the wrong side of that ledge this one should kick right pretty

Hard off that slope and work downhill away from her settle settle really almost impossible to have that part come up short so work to be done for jhe to set at 11 under par the halfway mark tanit really this should only be a wedge for Patty T maybe a n99 playing about 5

Yards uphill just can’t see the base of this flag stick obscured by that big green side bunker that you’re going to have to come up and over to get to today’s pin we certainly have softened up considerably we did have a lot of rain yesterday and a little bit of it overnight

The players who started in this side of the draw obviously with a huge Advantage pretty calm conditions at the moment around the tanese course two courses here at the tanir Country Club this tanese course hosted several big championships over the last few years couple of Asian tour events International ser series Singapore and

The Singapore International and of course the inaugural Hana Financial Group Singapore women’s open at the end of December 2022 the this lady left the lion City with it was a 36 hole range shorten Edition just a little deep into the six but no harm done for Park

Okay twice a runner up in 2023 at the Dall house open and the S oil Championship J he we’re a par at the last it does look like that rain’s lightening up at the moment around the tanese course but fortunately still electrical activity up top unable to get

The players and caddy safely out back onto the golf course with a view to hopefully restarting play shortly after 5:00 p.m. we will give you an update in 20 minutes okay thank you I heard it there from Club general manager Elliot GRE the plan is to get them back out there just

After 5:00 p.m. which is good news of obviously but much like yesterday unlikely we’re going to be able to get all 108 players through 36 holes because the logistics are trying to get players out there have to be in position to restart at 5:00 so really be

You think they’d be getting into the transport the golf carts the the Vans to head on out to their respective positions right around 445 450 as we continue to keep a close eye on the storms that have plagued us throughout the course of this Championship but the signs are good that

We are going to get some live golf happening in right around half an hour provided the weather situation does not deteriorate any further so fingers crossed we get back out there sooner rather than later it’s a third weather delay at this year’s Singapore women’s open and they don’t get any easier so be

Everything want who help for Fore For For well still in that weather delay that um plagued us since we got on air just about half an hour ago it’s bothered the players at taner Country Club for n on 90 minutes now but we are getting reports that perhaps there is a possibility that we could get back out

The golf course in just about half an hour’s time with the resumption of play once again fair play and full credit to Elliot Gray call General Manager here at tanira Country Club Adrian Tung and his standout team of um green staff who have worked very hard to

Try to get this golf course back into shape where we can go out and resume day two action there was some of these Fairways were very heavily water logged big puddles forming on the greens and the fairways but it looks like we might be able to get back

Out shortly so fingers crossed that Jihan soul and Company will be able to have another Fair crack at the tampan course which really will now be rendered fairly defenseless with the softer conditions and obviously ball in hand this week I preferred lies due to the uh wet conditions of the fairways and

Surrounds but yeah certainly signs up wouldn’t say good but optimistic we’ll be back out the golf course in about 20 25 minutes time it’s just something that players would be expecting and mentally prepared for when you do come to this part of the world and play we’re only 1 degree north of the

Equator in Singapore so do get a lot of tropical rainstorms some pretty intense it’s heat as well and it’s always humid around these parts I’ve called Singapore home for the better part of the last 33 years and well two distinct Seasons here hot or wet unfortunately it’s wet right now at the tanese

Course that’s such a disappointing way to finish for Kim J he it’s going to be a bogy at the last still a very solid round of 68 for her she sets the halfway lead at 10 under Park and anyone catch her as we head into Saturday Kim Min Sun s

5 under for the championship in the turn par three fourth on that front left hand section of the green that could start to feed around watch this this could get close excellent t-shot there from Kim outside birdie opportunity for year one at the sixth slightly downhill she want to creep to

Her left if it’s got the piece settles for p still perched precariously on the projected cut line at the eighth jny s birdie here clatters that one into the flag stick down she goes for another birdie that is a tidy score card this Friday morning 7 under power with just

The short part 49th to play Pong coming down the hill from just past the pin chance to take a step closer to Kim J he’s clubhous Target scared the right edge of the cup but we’ll remain above ground madom picked up a breakthrough kpg to a

Title at sky72 golf club in Inon last year in a playoff yeah well done good birdie there for Mar up to 5 under mred a p of a very similar range yesterday on this very green she’s going to want to move to her left for Patty te and also coming slightly

Downhill okay straight left off the putter face almost a carbon copy of how she played the hole on day one great t-shot suspect stroke just a three kimman son seven after that delightful t- shot at the fourth is to convert don’t have to see the ball

Interact with the hall to tell you and that did not drop the real squandered opportunity there for Kim isk G young looks to just clean things up her Victory here at the end of 2022 really set her up for her best ever season on the kpj tour finishing third

On the money list and the points list out to the ninth Fairway safely found for J we know you don’t want to be long here into today’s whole location just keep it underneath the hole and a little bit right if you can there’s a big bunker on the left hand

Side of this green that must be avoided it’s well done good use of the Contours J has given herself a look to get up to eight under par 30 this all yesterday and that was thanks to a big t-shot for tavatanakit pretty wide Target Fairway

Bunker on the left hand side not in play she can cover that easily with her Length give you a sense of how soft these Fairway are that ball is pitched backwards safely on the short stuff for Patty T now hot hand on the golf course on day two this belong to hang Omen who’s eight under par for her round seven under for the championship now has

This to get to nine under for her day just wandered a little right there for hang being told that was actually a putt for par so hang y Min is taking a step back with a drop shot there now G young back on the T possible you need to keep this down

The right half of the Fairway pins on the left section of the green and anything down that pipe will do for part such a good driver of the golf ball really solid all round game from the 26y old p g young and be very keen to see how lean’s golfing career progresses

Over the next decade or so he shot to prominence with some great playing on the dream tour in 2021 which got her onto the klpga tour in 2022 and the rest has been history doesn’t like it that one heading a touch too far left okay skirts that Fairway bunker and gets a friendly

Kick that’s a good break for year one almost impossible to get to the green if she had found that bunker just looked a little out of sorts in this season opening event raining player of the year now last year’s career Women’s Open Champion hung 1 having a rotten start to

2024 four overp par for the tournament very likely like she’s not going to see any weekend action here at tanamera Country Club two to a titles both of their Majors the hanwa 2022 and last year’s career women’s open in a thrilling three-way playoff at Rainbow Hills with Kim mbol

And this lady mom who really had one hand on the trophy through 70 holes bogey bogey finish to end up in that playoff it’s just really target practice with wedge in hand for these ladies really throw darts out there to these accessible pins now cross to the other side of the

Golf course and finishing up on the 18th hole Lee Su Jin 3 just passed the crosswalk with her second so just a little half wedge into this green is that going to come off the slope come on down come on down just AR quite quick enough where that

Was going to be able to work back down to the hle but still an outside chance for a closing birdie you see these enormous greens at the tanes course mention at the top top of the show it’s so important to find the right section of them cuz you could

Hit 18 Greens in round of golf here in regulation that is and still walk off shooting over power if you’re in the wrong sections of them there hasn’t been a hotter player in women’s world golf over the last month and that lady on your screens right now

12 months ago you really wouldn’t have seen that from Patty tavatanakit was lost in the golfing Wilderness confidence was shot missing Cuts week after week and to her Eternal credit she worked herself through that slump she put in the hours she found her dedication and

Love for this great game of golf and her patience and perseverance are now being rewarded two wins of the last 3 weeks for Patty T par young coming out of the middle of the Fairway that red Dot’s 140 yards to the front edge of the green pins about 16 Paces

On it’s a shot that plays around 156 yards but with the heavy humid air we’ve but this Friday morning just feel like that’s playing closer to a 160 number don’t really have to worry about the ball bouncing or releasing on too much it’s are fairly soft only seven

Birdies recorded so far in the seventh hole today playing as the fifth hardest hole out for this second round nicely done got to find that left hand section of the green the high point of that seventh green so you have a slightly easier birdie part now back up to the eighth

The park J talk about really good comebacks she was four over par through her first five holes yesterday eventually shot a round of 70 and my word parku young that’s another birdie she gets herself up to 6 underp the 34 year old veteran year one left half of the

Fairway pretty skinny ear area wish he could pitch this bolt to that left flag don’t want to leak this one out right there’s a slope that’ll feed it away from the pin oh goodness it’s almost one hopped that but she will be delighted with where that’s come to

Rest still no gim me this look at the amount of break that Jenny s’s got to allow for this a birdie look at nine it’s got to be hit with conviction yeah really well hold never easy those short parts that move a lot from left to

Right three birdies to close that is a very good day at the office a 67 Patty off a light uphill light you want to make sure that you drive your weight onto your lead foot don’t want to get that club Behind you it’s stuck it’s just going to take that little

Runoff finish left of the green be a little awkward for Patty they’re shortsighted at 7 now mad for her birdie yeah solidly done for Mar birdies are there for the taking here on day two tavatanakit really raced up to that green at seven now does she

Want to fire this into the bank try and get it to kick on of the green or she going to try to play it on with a bit of check went for option A and option A indeed was the right Play Good Touch there p young you’re at

Nine can get it close just throw it past the flag Lo that slope just like that you think about the fact that she was four over through five yesterday she could be leading the tournament right now park CH Young there was a thing or two about tenacity and resilience now back to

Seven the birdie look for po young going to be slow coming up that hill you were watching highlights of play from earlier on this Friday before the heavens open and the course got soaked players were being told are making their way out to the golf course to get into position expecting a restart

Sometime around 5 5:05 p.m. local time and as it was yesterday on Thursday we’re going to try and get as many holes completed as possible before the inevitable 7:30 a.m. restart for the conclusion of day two tomorrow morning we’ll have to do a quick redraw and send the players back out for day

Three action good evening ladies and gentlemen I know everyone is very eager to get back out onto the golf course and play as many holes as they can unfortunately we’re not in a position to get you on the golf course yet we please need you to bear with us

We need a little bit extra time as soon as we ready to get you on the golf course we will thank you dear didn’t need to hear that one from Elliot gray but you can understand certainly with the amount of r that the tanese course received over the last two

Hours perhaps a couple of spots still requiring the attention of Adrian Thung and his team so not going to get them out in the golf course just yet but the the weight will go on for these ladies just hanging around the clubhouse it’s so tough to try and stay focused try and

Keep your head in the game during a weather delay like this but you heard it from the general manager himself is still not in a position to to get players out in the golf course and unfortunately that means live action from day two we’ll have to wait just that little bit Longer E for For for for for well a little bit earlier on we were hopeful that we might be able to get play resumed this second round at around 5:00 but just a couple moments ago general manager Elliot gray was keeping everyone in the clubhouse informed that some areas of the golf course still required

A little bit more attention due to the Deluge of rain that has befallen us this Friday afternoon so not quite ready yet to get players into transport into golf carts and shuttles and back out to the golf course so the fleet of golf carts just parked in front of the clubhouse

They’ll have to wait just a little longer before they see any further action it’s always frustrating for players and staff it’s a real patience game especially when you’ve got a a weather delay like this to contend with and you think for the likes of the contenders

The the Bang Shin SS out there bang picking up an early birdie lead coming into today looking for some momentum trying to build some momentum with a soft defenseless golf course just being forced to sit with wait then have to get warmed up again stretch out and try to get yourself into

That mindset to go attack a golf course that you know players in the morning wave have certainly attacked and and yielded some great scoring results from think about the very solid rounds that were played or posted in this morning wave yuang yo Min with a 9 under power

Round of 63 Jan S 67 Kim J he recording a 68 to leafer as your current Clubhouse leader at 10 underpar this course is ready for the taking but no one can take it yet because of the weather couple of Bray fans starting to make their way out back

Into position maybe they know something we don’t as I can tell you that’s certainly not the way to the car park there is bang shinil third on the Rookie of the Year points race last year didn’t get her card through Q school but a couple of very solid early season

Finishes got her special category of membership on the kpj tour last year and when she would pick up a win at the E1 charity ladies open to get a 2-year exemption onto the klpga open with a 65 yesterday no Bogies on her scorecard just picked up a birdie at the

Par 4 third before play was halted right on 2 hours ago about some of the players that still have 17 holes to play soy and junk 17 to go it’s coming off aart the first company of Kim so and Chen sing Tong from Singapore who qualified to te up in the lpga’s HSBC

Women’s World Championship last week at Sentosa golf club and got to play the second round if memory serves me correctly alongside her childhood hero Lydia Co what an experience that must have been miso Yang still seeking a win the kpj Tour after the co break six times a

Winner but hasn’t picked up any silverware since 20120 steady pitter patter of rain continues to frustrate and irritate all at the tanese course this Friday afternoon that weather delay still ongoing here at the Han Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open so while we contined to wait let’s send

It back to some early action from play when skies were a little clearer up the hill should move a little left for par gang but oh just forgot to hit it still sure you would know it’s just about getting yourself into a position going into the second half of this Championship if you

Will where you can attack put a score together to give yourself a chance Kim minan missed a real golden opportunity back on four a couple of minutes ago this to pick up a shot here at the par five fifth oh and another denied for Kim Min Sun 7 it’s a little frustrating

Now year one find your 10 shots behind chance to pick one up here at the seventh I see a lot of puts do that through the first day and a half here at tanira you P’s not traveling to the hole with pace so easy for the grain to just rip it

Offline good angle here in the ninth Fairway for madom find the right half of this Fairway does open up the angle to this left pin and we know the game plan here throw it long trying to use that slope yeah very nicely done from m tanit at the

Eighth got greenh high two yesterday again softer conditions for Friday’s second round she’ll want to keep this down the right half she pulls this a bit she’s going to be styed by some trees that’s okay but could very well take the attacking and two option out of

Her hands if that’s just crept into the rough it’s just a sight that players have gotten used to this week planes soaring in overhead Changi Airport just down the road can imagine how it’s a bit of a nuisance to have a a 747 souping over your head every couple of minutes but

You get used to it a lot quicker than you think look like a much better swing for Park G young that’s the ideal side of the fairy to be coming in from just turning over a touch you end up sort of behind those trees you’ve got to really hit a big

Slinging hook to get yourself up the Fairway now mad for a closing birdie here at the ninth about pin High left still wants to move from left to right on her it’s for three birdies in a row to close unlucky still should she pop that one in he round to 68 yeah one

Missed one cut last year this 21 year old 18th last trip out to the tanese course certainly have AR on bettering that this week but she’s going to need to find at least one birdie to be definitely safe going into the weekend part too young look about the money she’s bagged in her

Career just under 2.4 billion one which has only got one win Ah that’s a real shame it’s tough when you’re past the pin when you’re on the top side of some of these whole locations at tanira Country Club really difficult to to hold some of those parts

Not so much for the speed but you think about the fact it’s so hard to pick out a line and trust a line or reader line good analogy is always looking down from a mountain you see a lot less of the mountain than if you were at ground level looking up but

Still P Jong sign for 70 go into Saturday at 6 under now back to the sixth all this is Cho and woo very backage pretty flat to start then Works its way downhill from there dle just a little of this comebacker should be Insight right Edge maybe right lip if

She just wants to feather this one in okay nicely hold solid round of 68 today for dasom who in all likely here is going to have P J young for company for day three action now back out to eight Fairway and jarvi Bun chant 23 year old won the 2021 LPGA Thailand

Masters graduate of Duke University couple of good Thai professionals have come from there particularly ver n paath pong por first tie member of the LPGA Tour that’s a solid shot from bunchan Yin he’s been running laps around the field but as I mentioned men that was a bogey at the

Seventh this could get close yeah very nicely done from hongo mint so that was early action from a little bit earlier on in this second round whether causing play to come to a Hal right around 3:00 local time it’s been just over 2 hours and hopefully of

Course can we please make our way down to the that’s what everyone wanted to hear be all clear of play at 525 525 you heard it from the man himself heading back out to the golf course they’ll get back into position and day two will resume at 5:25 local

Time so just in about 15 minutes minutes time these ladies 2 hours over 2 hours after they were called off the golf course they’re going to get back out to resume their second rounds here at the Hana Financial Group Singapore women’s open again it’s an opportunity to offer

Our thanks as bang shinil and caddy make their way out to the par 34th to offer our thanks to tanamera Country Club and everyone in the operations team for doing their level best to provide us with updates and get that horse back into shape throughout these weather delays three already here

In Singapore so well done Elliot gray Adrien Thung from tanira to Patrick fisel and chuu Wang who’ve been working tirelessly in operations to try and get us back on schedule here in the second Singapore women’s open at least the players seem happy Happ sufficiently entertained out there

Lots of good food in the clubhouse at the tanese course and there’s a little fan Village just out by the entrance of the car park where the Singapore Golf Association has set up a little get into golf area great initiative by Josh AO and the team at the Singapore Golf

Association trying to grow this great game in the island nation of Singapore we’re losing golf courses on the island it’s just a a fact that most singaporeans are getting used to but it doesn’t mean that the game should stop growing they’ve really put some fine initiatives into place and it’s good to

See that more worldclass events like this the Singapore Women’s Open it’ll perhaps Peak the interest of some youngsters watching thinking you know what maybe I’ll give this game a crack even if I never make it out to a stage like this certainly is a game of a lifetime and one very worth picking

The Singapore Women’s Open TI for 61st last year there is Anoni the 32y old two-time klpga to winner hasn’t won since the Phantom classic back in 20120 always has a great attitude and wonderful disposition as she makes her way around the golf course see earlier the the maintenance team

And full force out there trying to dry out this golf course get some of the debris out of the way with leaf blowers and squeegees there’s a fullon operation to get the tanese course back into shape for these ladies to try to tackle and tame over the next two and a half days

Once again play expected to resume right about 5 10 minutes time and suffice to say we’re not going to be able to complete everyone’s second rounds today so they’ll be setting early alarms tomorrow to get back out the golf course and restart day two before we can

Even make the cut and redraw for day three and hopefully be able to get Saturday play underway as soon as possible those 60 and ties we will make the halfway cut which at present sits at one overp par but it might be a bit of a nervy weit for the

Likes of Kim SEI try Ming Kong and yuio ju three of them done and dusted at one over par but number of players could yet affect the cut line Aussie Kelsey Bennett also at one over but she’s only played three holes and she’s finishing on the easy side of the golf course

Having teed off on the back nine Kong jong a runner up here as well last time out started her tournament with a Triple bogy Eight at the 10th yesterday but back back to be at one overp par unfortunately you have to say hring some awful weather the two overs might

Be packing their bags and leaving the lion City Early bad news for Park G Genevie Ling who was actually giving a a golf Clinic to some of the amateur some of the young fans at the driving range a little bit ear earlier alongside Singaporean vandan and Indonesian Patricia Walland

Songan his players at two over par and youu as well Justice bosio really disappointing pair of 73s for the queenslander and Gabriela then one of the two sisters from America who make the trip over to Singapore there’s anen juu prolific winner all around the world 17 wins in Japan multiple titles

On the kpj to and she had a nice tournament in the 2023 edition of the Singapore Women’s Open it’s a big choreograph routine to try to get all these players back into their respective positions and ready for the restart which should be coming any moment now at the Tampa KNE course for

So they’re just getting set on the six Anon P do young and ren Mela malixi three of them all going quite nicely they match Philippines five underpar sunju and doong those three undera and all three players bogy free for their second rounds which has been interrupted by

Rain 2 and a half hours since the last shot was struck at the tampones course but we’re just moments away from getting things back underway here at the Singapore Women’s Open I said one of her goals coming into last year was to be able to defend her title she checked that one off when she success sucessfully went back to back at the high One resorts ladies open at for hon the girl that went unresolved was to win a major championship of course there

Are five Majors on the Korean ladies tour first of which coming up rather soon K lpj championship at Lakewood for that appears to be the path three sixth always helpful to have a couple of teas stuck in the ground during a a weather delay like that so often heard stories of players leaving just a regular ball marker out there and you get a a ton of rain as we have

Received here in Singapore this Friday and you come back to discover that your marker is no longer there so doesn’t hurt let’s STI a couple more te’s in the ground make sure you don’t lose the position of your golf ball that looks like the pathy Fifth and the group just behind that

Lady hanin 25y old just a hit on the part 3 sixth couple of practicing required for just want to stay loose here it’s always a little antsy it’s almost like the start of a race you’re just waiting for that Hooter to go and then you back on your

Way really after a delay like this you’d almost better off coming back to a full shot preferably with a a full full blooded driver off the tea most uncomfortable ones to come back to a usually a little fiddly chip shots around greens just looking to stay loose what is anung doing just checking

Out some Wildlife here got patter in hand so doesn’t have too much to do there is your featur group in this afternoon wave Kim mbol Park mini and presumably luring somewhere on that green tall frame of Thailand’s natak V VAP standout Year Kim mad the 2023 winning Rookie of the Year on

His aha it’s lights out and a away we go the Hooter sounds but for the better this time round 2 and 1/2 hours after we were called off the golf course round two of the Singapore Women’s Open is back underway thank the heavens above and we

Don’t have a lot of time for it just about 90 minutes or so before it starts to get dark here in Singapore down to the path 34th we go R have this for birdie and she’s had two and a half hours to think about this

Part 22 year old turned Pro back in year 2019 best every year on the kpj tour last season for row 22nd on the manone list 15th on the points list did have a a runnerup finish at the kge daily ladies open slow left to right here for

Real okay worth the wait that’s a nice birdie for Rose yongi so she’ll go up to 4 under an inch away inside of the top 20 now park m 25 years of age now 18 klpga to victories always so awkward coming back after weather delay not quite sure how

The greens are going to react to how they’re going to be rolling this is goiu her par at the fourth breakthrough title came last year at the Nicole Mona Park ladies open which will skate away and set the stage for the lady who could potentially have

Her eyes on the top of the leaderboard by the end of play today Bang shinil 19 years of age so 20 year old beg your pardon already two wins on the klpga tour takes a big kick off the shoulder of the bunker that’s just going to funnel off

The left side of the green that’s not going to be an easy up and down now Kim J he in the clubhouse at 10 under through 36 holes shinil he’ll be her closest pursuer in this afternoon session currently in a tie for second place at 8 under Ashley Lao the

Malaysian 3 years of age from bintulu Malaysia just north of the Border here in Singapore little drive across the causeway that one’s deep for Lao that’s going to be a green and regulation but that is by no means a straightforward to putt look at what she’s got to contend

With right up to six we go and the hard charging Rian Michela malixi of the Philippines Kon City tell you what she’s got some game won the Australian Master of the amateurs at the start of the Season down under young amateur currently 37th in the world now back to four and Lee G

Young both her playing Partners going long here on four and this one might be heading left for Lee oo and that is Bunker so finding the going a little tricky will jump up a hole to Rong at the fifth and with the softer conditions the Fairway is not running out quite as

Much certainly driver the preferred Club of choice for song right around 240 M to run through the Fairway into the canal that’s heading left is it she’ll get away with it but not fancying the lie that she’s got left coming out of some pretty wet thick rough looks like a three-wood for

GU can aiming at the second pair of bunkers down the right half as your start line played as a three shotter so finally we’re back off and running on day two at the Singapore women’s open at 2 and 1/ half hour delay has put us back

Somewhat it’s a race to beat Darkness as Kim jhe continues to lead after a second rounde of 68 Caesar at 10 under par and she’s chased by a quintet of pursuers including your pre-tournament favorite Patty tavatanakit for for e for for well not going to be easy trying to

Judge how this is going to Skid off the surface for Bangin Sil that’s going to need to hurry it’ll try but that is going to be to avoid a first drop shot of the week the 20-year-old big hitting Sensation from South Korea tampan cor certainly plays into

The hands of the longer hitters the ball Strikers like aiso young he’s got a very different Target at the back of her mind today just trying to make the cut one outside that projected number as things stand pinut on the right right hand side of the third hole today there’s water to

The right but not where that’s headed look at this from liso Young safe to say she’s going to get to one overp par in just a bit fantastic shot fifth last season on the kpj tour and greens in regulation serving her in good stad here

Now what do you do if your Ashley Lao going to send it well out to the left it’s slow coming back up the hill it should start to pick up pace not to thirds of the way there and that was almost a full swing from the Malaysian

And it’s still not going to be enough graduated the University of Michigan with a degree in economics not the most economical way to play the par 34th I can tell you that now back to three in parun kyung known as cutiful and the kpj to ented a almost threeyear windless

Drought towards the end of 2023 at the so economics ladies championship and well there was some tears shed on the 72nd green that week I can tell you one of the most consistent players year in year out but just couldn’t get across the line and what a weight off her

Shoulders back in October now La forar at the fourth still going to be slow let’s power that one through the break it can happen to you so easily at the tanese course wrong section of the green three put just round the corners so la back to one under now anoi saw her inspecting

The agriculture around this ninth green this for a PO for a birdie excuse me and a wonderful way to end the day fungi would have been a little frustrated having to wait so long to just roll that part in but she’ll be proud of herself kept her focus and she’ll go

Into the weekend at 5 undera now poput for shinil to keep her card clean no F2 going to drop a shot there at the fourth slip out of that share for second place but still plenty of opportunities coming up for Bangin songui L it up nicely but a pretty long way back into

Five P got in the right half of the green today so she’s got to come over that gaping bunker just short of the surface pretty good shot there from r there is Hun left half of the Fairy doesn’t have to go over the steepest part of that front shoulder but it’s still pronounced

You got to carry at least pin High don’t imagine you’re going to get too much release on these greens today last player of this group Co much further up the Fairway and much tighter down the left hand side so she has the best angle of the

Three she’s just a little clumsy with a yardage and it comes up short this will kick hard left you got to throw it past that slope cannot State the importance of that enough she’s going to stick on the top of the slope that’s going to be a little testy

One gong now at the fifth did get up and down from that greenside bunker so she’ll have the honor like she does so often just finds the fairways good solid player is Le G young and sensibly binil going with less than driver plenty of speed in the

Game led the tour in driving distance in 2023 262 yds on average so that Creek definitely in play if she catches one with the big stick spun out of that a little o gets lucky so easy for that to get wedged in one of those birds nest ferns it’s okay

For shinil but just a little squirrly after that weather break now so young and important passage of play here brilliant approach a good birdie and that’s going to take her onto the projected cut line of one over par still a lot of holes left to play now Lao a hit at

Five thankfully following gang down the middle of the Fairway not shinil into the right trees parun Kung the high point of this third green on that little knuckle so she’ll be coming downhill all the way into this little Bowl where the pin is today from that range just got to be

Content with good speed PA’s not going to hurt the scorecard 100 outside opportunity now at the bar five fif for a birge for so I mentioned this is going to be a little bit tricky for ki’s coming downhill but again with these damp greens it’s going to be a little bit

Slower so you have to hit it harder than you think I believe this will want to turn pretty hard from right to left in the middle section of the Putt and sort of straighten up as it gets to the cup just never got that high enough

Hey see the the fifth Fairway there and back in the distance just past where that that hedge is that actually is a penalty herea there’s a little Canal that splits this hole into two shinil looks like she’s checking if that Ball’s Broken Ground if indeed it

Has broken the surface of the ground she will be able to get relief from for an embedded ball something you see a lot this part of the world soggy conditions a lot of embedded balls but it has to be your own pitch mark that’s number one and it has to

Have Broken Ground not just have mud on it while she deliberates that we’ll go up to Ros yong’s birdie look at on the green that’s a good conversion there well done so the birdie at five takes her to five undera so Le not going to waste any time it’s

Just going to be a layup even though it’s a three-wood in hand for leap got that one Fairway bunker on the left hand side you can see in the top of your screen there and she’s cleared that comfortably stay short okay that is the green side

Bunker be about a 40 yard pitch left for gang it doesn’t look like Bangin Sil has been given relief quite hard to tell from this camera angle so if she hasn’t gotten relief from an embedded ball and that is just sitting down in the rough she’s got to be

Careful with this one you can see that penalty area about some 70 yards in front of her and this is when you need some speed try to gouge it out of this thick wet rough you only have to carry this 100 yards to take that Creek out of play

Just want to maybe drop that ball back in your stance a little bit grip down try and get a little steeper on it make sure you catch ball first and Priority One clear the water sounded like a bit of heavy contact but back in play for bankin

Still going to be coming in from a lot further back than she would have envisaged standing on the te no harm done cross to the sixth songu with the honor just a short eyeon at a shot that you can scare a lot of weekend golfers and the members at tanira Country Club

Uphill par three it’ss cut over that front right trap insensibly so just a little long but that’s a good solid shot from rung M those times you’re kind of glad that the course received a lot of rain that shot becomes so much simpler pitching on a severe down slope but getting it to

Stop quickly jinia no Breeze to speak of at the moment at the six just got to make sure you get it past that pin if anything shorts no good here that’s going to find the valley in the middle section of the green so it be

A lengthy birdy look for H son at the par three second on the rookie points list back in 2022 six top 10 last year for goiu shots like that you can see why alongside rosu on the sixth green hang jongi former kg e daily ladies open Champion you see there the

Projected cut to get one over part Chung me still with 10 holes to play but just found that little round bunker in the middle of the ninth Fairway this should back up here it comes that is going to help the cause for hang Jong me just see the amount of slope in that

Fifth green and trust me when I say the front section of that green is a lot easier in the uh the back halfway certainly going to see a pin at least one of the next two days if not both so shinel long way back for this third shot but importantly she’s coming

Out of the Fairway and out of the better side of it that left half so just opens up the angle of the green slightly get a shot of around 160 yards here oh that would have looked so good to her in the air and if not for the the

Downpour that might have released on but still she’ll happily take it chance to recover the shot she just gave up at the fourth you see that shoulder on the front right of the green to the left of your screen that I was talking about that can catch the players out if they’re not

Careful as Shea coming off a slight downhill line which does tend to flatten out the trajectory of the ball ever so slightly a beautiful shot from the Malaysian first golfer from the Michigan University golf program to be awarded Big 10 Player of the Year first in the University’s program history back in

2020 now guy perhaps a little too close to the green so you got to throw that club face open try and release that right hand under the ball get it up as quick as possible and well that is superb touch from Lee gong those can get a little bit awkward

She made that look very simple indeed so going to be a slow putt from the low point of this sixth green for henion looking up a pretty steep slope should then kick the ball to the right once it gets over it never had a prayer really conditions like these they really

Reward good ball Strikers players that can control their distances well you don’t want to leave yourself too many 50 60 Footers to these pins when conditions are like this now park b k shortsighted at the ninth no green to work with that’s the mistake on nine you try

And get a little bit too cute leave yourself underneath the hole you find yourself in that front bunker with just no room to work with and understandably so frustration starting to build over for Park back to six and gu for a birdie two oh well done well done indeed for the 21-year-old

Go yeah Le Jong Min 10 time klpga tour winner first look at her this week going along well three under par third into the eighth can get close to this front right pin work it off that back stop yeah keep coming it’s well done last win coming in Vietnam at the

Pacific Links Championship which followed the Singapore Women’s Open to start the 2023 calendar now shinil to get herself back into a Sheri offf second has she hit it yes she has bounces straight back from that disappointing bogey gets herself back to within two of Kim jhe’s Clubhouse

Target now just saw coiu hold it from identical spot so expect this one to scare the hole for Rose young uh that’s the old adage never up never in just a par then for rope par up coming for parkum at the ninth this one move from left to right

It’s not going to be as quick as it was earlier in the day but still going to be Speedy once it hits that Ridge at the halfway Park good attempt there that ninth hole it is a birdy opportunity but if you’re just slightly off find the wrong side of the Fairway

Find the wrong section of the green of that front trap you know bogey very much a possibility now Ashley Lao to do what Bangin s did bounce back from aogi with a birdie here at five it’s got to be positive with your speed Ashley stay up okay well done Malaysia

Bully that’s a first birdie of the day for Ashley gets herself back to two1 depart the J on biry look here at nine good conversion there very well done turns in level par 36 gong for a hatrick of birdies for this group we stay up no just always looked a little left the

Le Le young mint let’s have a little stutter start with these short putts that didn’t look very convincing but it Finds Its Target lovely birdie there F Le tell you what if you’ve got the heie G with pting do not watch le Jung menu will have nightmares for days it does

Tend to work more often than not though oh leis so young just front edge of the fourth not the worst spot to be it’s going to be slow coming downhill second half of the putt breaking from right to left oh back to back birdi for Le so

Young now she moves to even par for the championship well done that’s what I was talking about it just does look like such an intimidating t-shot at the par 36 yawning bunker short of the green pin perch just on the other side of it but you got seven

Pieces from the front edge to that pin so there is a bit of room understandably so you want to be looking just a little long and just a little right as you tug this you could end up in that little Valley where and son was Oh it sounded like it hit the green

Almost would have hit the flag function s she’s going straight at it lovely t-shot she’s got a very Patty tanit like game big hitter stays aggressive big high ball flight she’s only going to be one back in just a couple of moments time goiu just up ahead at

Seven trouble down the right of this Par Four I think that one’s hitting exactly where she aimed it a lot of undulation in the fairways here at the tampones course rui just want to keep it inside the line line of that leftand Fairway trap saw from the bounce of goiu this Fairway

Does camber from left to right dear I think she has found that Fae bunker it’s got a pretty steep lip on it not sure if she can get to the green and that’s rolled up towards the far lip did unfortunately three putut the par 300 so now back on even par

Not the longest hitter on the kpg to outside the top 100 in driving distance has to be accurate and that is the ideal angle that she’s left herself right half of the faway opens up the angle to that left hole location for bang shinil be delighted to

See that that ball has nestled up to pretty much tap in range have another look at this from our camera at the back of the green 137 M oh throwing darts is the 20year old she led by one overnight she’s going to get to within one and she Taps that

One in again Kim J he done IND dusted through 36 holes a round of 68 completed just before we were called off the golf course at 3:00 uhoh there are problems here for Ashley La looks like she’s plugged it in the face of that bunker if she doesn’t get this one out

It’s going to roll back to the base of the bunker and it’s pretty much going to be backwards for her it’s never easy this I mean oh look at that so so hard to get good leverage on this if a severe up here lie just trying to say stay

Stable certainly don’t envy her Caddy’s job of trying to rake that mess when she’s done hitting hope here hit as hard as you can and hope for the best and un fortunately what I feared came to pass that ball traveling backwards down into the base of the bunker

She’s got a lot of work to do all over again catch a break like that it’s just about damage limitation now for Ashley La quickly go back to the fifth and park m g her third shot six wins in 2021 six wins in 2022 just the three last

Year just we have that to get herself back into red figures for the tournament it took us a while to get going again this Friday but the scoring has been good Bangin Still Moments away from getting within one of Kim jhe’s 10 underpar Clubhouse Target now Big Mama an

Sunju again going well in the lion City this is her third shot uphill into the eighth slow deliberate back swing great Tempo and a great result for an Ashley Splash her third shot out to this point now with this for aogi no it’s going to be two Drop

Shots and all of a sudden she has brought the cut line into play with a double bogey at the sixth oh she’s got a hybrid out which tells me she thinks she can clear that lip it’s a risky play for Rong got to be perfect here oh she clipped that

Well not going to make the front edge but she’s on that up slope and it’s not the hardest Chip Shot in the world she’s left herself Le it’s pass pin high right at six so this birdie but will be coming downhill and moving to her left oh the putters behaving for Lee

Gong let one slip away at 5 but drains one from distance at six for a first birdie of the day 100 son coming in with a hybrid into seven but with the soft conditions this one should stop fairly quickly pretty accurate with these clubs throughout her

Career it’s kind of for to leak this right it takes an uncharacteristically firm bounc and oh dear that’s unlucky probably hit the one firm spot in that seventh green and now she’ll be playing her third from the greenside bunker pretty big t-shot from coiu shot into seven you can see what

I’m talking about that green does tilt from left to right got to make sure you find the high section of this green and that should stay up okay just too rolling into where Patty tavatanakit was this morning stick on the left Ridge for Co should have a runner up finish along

With her win last year that came at the nextend state9 Masters now Bangin Sil this formality to get up to 9 under and two under for the day great birdie back at five stunning t-shot at six and shinil is on the rise a dozen holes left to play just one shot to make

Up now le young Min at the ninth at the left side of the Fairway and this is a part of her game that she’s leaned on for strength Through The Years really good with wedges and short irons licking her chops trying to attack this front left pin I put the dreaded commentators

Cursing her cuz that is not a good shot at all from Jung Min to s in that front bunker just saw PB gum drop a shot from shinil doesn’t have to worry about that bunker that rosu was in she should be able to cover that fairly

Easily cover it he’s flown it by 20 yards anunu up at eight get herself to four under told this is a putt for bogey Sur R to some trouble off the te oh no it is for birdie forgive the graphics Department it’s been a long day out here

Thankfully you a birdie takes it a four underpar don’t think we’re going to see the same speed or line from Lee gong as bang shinil just air down the right half of this Fair we she’s the rain pants Ashley La a little hot under the collup after that disappointing

Double she’s got time to’s try and pick off a couple more birdies said if she wasn’t a golfer she would have pursued a career in law that’s just going to creep into the the second cutter rough but little problems from there the angle’s good for

La now wide Miss from Le young mint but on this angle can she potentially try and use that slope you can see it just pass the pin takes a brave shot to try and do that oh just a little too far the idea was there takes a brave play to try that out

But my word that was a wild Miss with I would say only a wedge in hand for a second shot it’s not Breezy out there I promise you that was a real stinker from Le young Min happens to the best in the world too now Rose yongi off this steep

UPS slope just short of seven green try to play a little low Fizz and run you tend to see that sometimes after heavy rainfall that Bal doesn’t quite check it skids and just releases on when you think it’s going to grab so work to be done for RO

To avoid a drop shot at 7 Park me in Jeep to get herself back into red figures at 5 oh just a little too much conviction in that for Park first time in three seasons she finished outside the top 10 on the money list last year first time she didn’t win the money list gu for a

Birdie not this time for go it usually gets dark in Singapore just past 7:00 so what’s that 45 minutes away you feel these ladies probably going to make it that best to the 11th T so they’re going to have at least eight holes left to play tomorrow I have some players

Coming back to play 10 11 or more holes tomorrow as Leo Min looks at this slippery slider for par at 9ine just had to breathe on that to get it down the hill an erant second is going to cost her a shot Lis so young coming off birdies at 3 and

Four good chance here on the fif easiest all in the golf course so far this week for the players pretty good CH for three in a row now rosang for her par at s always found playing T of mirror especially in in low light like we’re

Having at the moment these are the parts that really struggle to read because your mind’s always looking your eyes always looking for break in these kind of Parts but kind of stay pretty straight if anything I’d say maybe this is just inside right half for

R it’s only not one you want to start outside the hall and give the hall away I just don’t think it breaks that much ultimately pays the price for a poor t- shot so he will slip back to 4 under out of the top 15 par kyung just out of the right rough

Here at 5 angle’s not the best and you’ll have limited spin control on this coming out of the rough it’s managed it pretty well let’s keep that under the branches as well right side of the fairy do give you the optimal angle should be Ashley Lao first to Play come third at the Epson on the Epson tours Wild Horse ladies golf classic in 2023 might have expected a jumper out of that light just kind of came out dead on her still no harm done for there actually has seven dogs at home must be a fairly big property that the

Lao family have back in Malaysia gong you want to play this to the full number got a pretty firm kick and well whatever the number was she’s hit it another stunning shot from Le Young starting to make a move n t- shot just over the flag stick at six now putting down the

Hill scared the hole on a couple of occasions but hasn’t really yielded any birdies for Park challenge stalling at even par now shinel little bit a good ball below her feet coming out of the rough oh and that might catch the ridge there it goes down the

Right so it’s going to be a slow lengthy birdie putt for Bangin s when she gets up to the green at 7 as the light starts to fade around the tanes course still looking pretty bright and sunny where Kim jhe is enjoying a one- shot cushion over the hard charging

Bang Shin s two ahead of Wang yo Min and Patty tavatanakit here on day two at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open for for for for for for always hard to convince yourself to hit putts like this hard enough really struggle as it makes its way up the

Hill hun coming slightly downhill for her birdie putt at the fifth I want to just peel to her right that’s not going to stay up just a fraction low all the way for Park two time winner of the season opening major championship and the klpga tour the klpga championship where Le

Dion will defend in a couple of weeks time malixi at the night she’s three under par today and she’ll be happy if she could tart that to stay just inside the top 10 top five finish at the women’s amate Asia Pacific in Thailand last month shinil for a par bought to

Consolidate the birdies he’s just picked up at five and six don’t want to be giving one back straight away and it’s been a bit of a yo-yo for bang shinil birdie three just before the stoppage of play dropped the shot at four couple of birdies gives one back so

Back into that Log Jam at eight underp par goes the overnight leader goiu second shot into eight place up here all the way framed by trees left and right a little too far left no that’s going to be fine Sublime Second from guy young is for backto back birdies

Gets herself inside the top 20 at four under par malixi for a part at 9 so pair of amors inside the top 10 at this stage of the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women’s Open just over half an hour of daylight left here in the lion city of Singapore where

The kpga tour starts its season for the second year in a row gong the Victor last time out Kim J he in Pole Position at this stage of the 2024 Edition to clear of a quintet of Chasers just be looking at the bunker on the right half of the Fairway as a start

Line getting no run on these Fairways at all I mean that’s almost settled back at its own pitch mark gu left half of the Fairway SL downhill L always makes it a little bit uncomfortable when you’re playing to an elevated green not much clubing hand for Go

They really have been taking apart this eighth hole today in the accessible pin position these ladies have been taking advantage shinil just has to be wary if she gets this one traveling a little left second shot’s going to be awkward need to keep this up the right half of the Fairway at

Eight he creates such good width at the top of her back swing generates so much speed that is up by the last of those three bunkers that’s almost 275 yards in the air s a little bit further up the hall BS above her feet slightly which does

Promote a slight right to left ball flight youve got that back stop which you can throw it into get to come off that doesn’t want to use that leaves her under the hole so an uphill putt for birdie upcoming for Rose weep it’s been a bit of shuffling at the

Top of the leaderboard but one thing that hasn’t changed is the name of Kim jhe leading the way on day two of the Huna Financial group’s Singapore Women’s Open for for for for for for the Shadows are lengthening out and around the tampones course at tanira Country

Club dusk starts to settle in especially with the overcast Skies it’s just getting a little bit hard to see out here for the players Le G young sets up over her second into the par 58 just one of those players that wouldn’t want this round to end he’s had

It going over the last half hour or so back to back birdies at 6 and seven rosqui pretty slow one from underneath the hole up ahead on the green this for birdie just power that one through the break unfortunately for row just hit the skids a little

Andi no damage done to the scorecard with that par for goiu downhill slideer to get herself to six under it’s going to want to Dive Right this isn’t hit with conviction that goes takes a lot of trust in your reads especially when you’re putting from above the hle have to

Shin don’t think she can get home and oh she lost this one out right got some thick trees over there it’s got to get lucky look to be a ball down the left hand side of the fairy don’t think it’s Shin SS we keep you a breast of the

Situation when we get back to the eighth hole shinil the player on the golf course who could certainly cut into that lead of K J he which has looked pretty Ironclad throughout the course of play this Friday afternoon in Singapore 6668 for Kim jhe to leave herself on 10

Under par at the halfway stage where where bin sil’s ball ended up at the eighth which is certainly walking right hopefully not too far right it’s a 475 M hole and as you can see there it’s playing the easiest hole in the golf course today much to do with

That PIN position it’s cut at the base of a little slope so plenty of options for the players to try and attack get it close particularly with the softer greens that they’re playing into as long as you got a nice full yardage got good distance control really

Expecting this to be no further than 10 ft for Lea young sounded a little heavy perhaps it was still decent opportunity for a third straight birdie for Le G young Ashley Lao this some of her other Hobbies is cooking dancing and traveling sure gets a lot of traveling

Done see if she can dance this one around the pin he’s got to settle down after that double bogey back on six it’s a good chance to get her feet back under here here at eight well well well double bogy at six ho out for an

Eagle at eight golf is a strange game indeed have another look at this one I said she want to dance this one round the pin it’s just fed straight in look at that couldn’t have drawn it up any better from Ashley Lao 32 birdies on

This hole today you can add an eagle to that tally as Ashley Lao gets herself back to two underpar what a shot from the Malaysian former top 30 ranked player in the world amateur golf rankings yet to win a title as a Prof professional last time she lifted a

Trophy was the 2022 Indiana Invitational on the Collegiate circuit State side now shinil did get lucky with her second shot she’s just down in that right rough green side you can see she’s pitching from well below the level of the Ping surface be landing on a slight

Downs slope as long that lies okay you can almost play this with that open Club face try and almost play it like a long bunker shot you know use the the bounce just turn that chest don’t get flicky with the hands pretty well managed from shinil

Although we’ve seen that part from Co it just slide a lot from left to right we’ll see if shinil is up to the task have to see get this ho done maybe maybe just be able to get done with the ninth and they’ll have 27 holes to play on

Saturday provided of course the weather cooperates forecast for this week has not looked promising but these players and the tournament committee certainly doing their level best to make sure we get in all 72 holes this week oh guy Young for three in a row I’ve been out of it quickly she knew

Just a little push off the putter face of course if they do get pulled off the Gulf or the hoter sounds for Darkness you do have the option to finish the hole that you are currently on it’s not like a a lightning stoppage where you’d have to Evac the golf course

Immediately not much to smile about for H son so far today although that could make her Friday evening a little bit better that’s the way get it close on nine throw it past with a bit of spin use the Contours to your advantage bin Sil so we’re doing a

Little Tango on that first page of the leaderboard up to nine back to eight up to nine back to eight this to get herself to that 9 under par Mark once again even though she’s only about 4 and 1/2 ft away there’s still about a ball of Break In This outside left

Lip very nicely read very well held punction sill hasn’t made a pass since the second hle which was oh goodness about 3 and a half hours ago now but she won’t be complaining she is on the ascendency once more on Friday in Singapore speaking of goiu here she is at 9 would

Have seen from henion the perfect way to play or approach into this short par for oh dear and that’s a mistake coming up short in that bunker certainly hope that’s not plugged we’ve seen a couple embedded balls already today we have to say this is probably going to

Be the last hole of the day for these three Ashley La off the back of that Majestic ho out Eagle will have the honor just got to be wary of that little round bunker about 230 yards off the te in the middle of the Fairway front hole location on the left you

Really want to be playing your approach out of the short stuff the bunker definitely not in play for pin Sil a prodigious Club head speed 264 yards on average last season there were a couple of 3-woods in there as well have to say probably one of the

Best swings on the kpg to a chief pitches in on a down slope and look at the Run that’s the green side trap she’s only 30 yards from the front edge the hole’s 330 gu barely see the top half of the flag stick from that deep greenside bunker don’t think she’s

Plugged actually she’s played that too well chopped the legs right out from under it it’s a game of fine margins out here at the tanese course now gang last to go back on the T just passed the t- shot off a 23y old playing partner it’s been a long day out here at

The tanira Country Club it’s going to be a pretty long Saturday as well now just across to the 18th in park Doan who’s got herself on at the first page of the leaderboard three under par for her round today third shot into this par five that one’s just going to settle up

At the base of that slope not bad she’ll have an outside look at a front line of 32 not really where you want to be on nine back edge of the green almost impossible to leave this PCH short she’ll do well to keep it on the green

Rosui that swinger from left to right and the last 10 ft of this put going to be rapid once it gets over that Crest right there that is wonderful touch from Rose really good tough to judge the pace and she did that magnificently okay it’s just one of

Those times you’re glad you had a a big downpour just slow these greens up a little bit not quite as fiery as they’ve been in the past that was a couple of moments ago now live go you just coming out of The Fringe here should move a little off her

Right let say maybe this is sort of 3 in outside right Edge it’s pretty flat section of the green really so certainly a part you can hit with a bit more Authority this for part just stay get five under just lost that L again just pay the price for a real

Sloppy second shot to find that front trap pretty good approach from hanon but work not done here this feels a little uncomfortable because of that slope that she’s standing on the Ball’s going to feel a long way below the level of her feet certainly for a putt anyway should indicate that this one

Will want to dive to the right oh but no mistakes there from hin son nice birdie there on the 9th B so staying hydrated so important to do even with the slightly cooler temperatures late in the evening here in Singapore and with the downpour that we had still it’s pretty warm out there

Touching 30° C it’s important to keep your fluids up keep your energy levels up this game that requires so much concentration that’s a brilliant twart from Ros yongi she too remains inside of the top 20 now Lao set to play first into this green just under half a cuts on the

Epson T last year the feeder tour to the LPGA it’s like the top 60 on the Epson tour money list after back of two top 10 finishes this far back in the Fairway should be a pretty comfortable full gap wedge for out just look to land this just past the

Pin so kill it into that slope and have it funnel back towards this pin just carried it a Touch Too Far maybe it was in between clubs and took the longer one so abbreviate that follow through just trying to take some off unfortunately just in the wrong section of that ninth

Green where the players are standing it really looks like that pin is pretty much cut tight to that left bunker but there’s a little room just short of it guy just going to find the top side of that Ridge as well and that part is going to almost break sideways as it

Gets to the cup doesn’t she know it Bang Shin s there’s the luxury of being able to walk all the way up to the green to see what she’s got left according to my calculations she said that 302 Ys off the Te You should did

Pitch on a Down Slow which does tend to help and got a lot of run the only thing about this you can see it right there it’s just a little fiddly it’s a shot that gives your weekend golfers nightmares a a little sort of feel pit

Shot coming over a bunker to a tight pin she is on a slight UPS slope which will help the situation really what youd want to do here is you know not try and take a short stabby swing it’s really about just guig muscles right so laying that club face wide

Open trying to use the bounce on the soulle of your Club it’s there to help you last thing you need is the Leading Edge digging here and you laying the sod over it ending up in that trap in front just got a little bit of room past the pin she would know

That just try to play this with very quiet hands just turn burn that body easy to do though just you could see that little extra acceleration at the bottom of the Swing you look up and all you see is sand between you and the hall tends to happen every now and then

So no gim me two putts for the three ball on that ninth green across to 18 this a chance to join the party at 8 the bar for Park dun she had the line it was tracking just going to come up short for Park very good front night of 33

The 24 year old PTO Yun you’d have to say just given the amount of light that’s out there potentially the last hole of the day for these three players I don’t think there’s an easy first part between the three of them Ashley La is going to be the furthest away

It’s going to be slightly uphill for the Malaysian then just as it Crest that Ridge it’s going to pick up pace and work its way down to the hole gang’s probably got the toughest putt I mean she’s going to have to almost putt it along the ridge line and just have it

Fall right with dying breath and then take the Contours of the green no it’s actually Bangin Sil who’s going to be first to go and really what she’s trying to do is just pick a spot on the very top of that slope in front of her where she wants this ball to feel

Like it’s going to stop it’s not going to stop obviously just want to feel like you putt to that spot and then you let gravity take over can see that it almost stopped on the top of the Ridge and tled on down to the hole I mention it’s been a little Topsy

Turvy for bang who hasn’t made a pass into the second hle should be more than pleased to walk off with a par here at 9: despite only having about 35 yards left for a second now park mini back on the eighth another chance to get herself into red figures surely

One of these has got a drop for Park now seeing that time and time again she gets the P hot she can be Nyon unbeatable now back to nine and Ashley La looking to send this a little bit further left than Bangin Sills so it does move hard right if it doesn’t have

Enough Pace not the worst part in the world she’ll be putting back uphill something more comfortable leave than a an awkward squiggly one from the top side of the hall she will be buzzing after that eagle 3 back at eight guy young just needs to get this

One sort of past the hall left to a high point of that Ridge and then it should funnel down try to jam that one in with speed okay maybe he wasn’t quite far up the green as I thought still content with a a par here on nine if you’re not in that little

Bow 108 women contesting this second Hana Financial Group Singapore women’s open the Cut will be made at the end of the second round which will will obviously be early on tomorrow morning with most of these players having to come back to complete their day2 scores those 60 in

Ties make it through to the weekend just over just under 1.1 billion Korean one prize fund up for grabs this week allow for her part just inside right half with conviction yeah well done that’s a good part nicely halt for Ashley L bit of a roller

Coaster ride but it all will tot up to a level part 36 in her front nine now out to the back nine and rui good t- shot down the middle for r a still a pretty tough layup long penalty era that stretches the entire length of the hall down the

Left hand side side got some thick rough in a bunker down the right a couple of trees as well that look a little snatchy from the top saved it well at the bottom oh you awfully close to the Penalty area I think he’s gotten away with that

T- shot cuz if she did find the penalty area that would have would have had to drop it a lot closer to that Shrubbery so this a second shot now for go and she’ll just keep that down the right edge of the Fairway now bin still still got to be careful on these

It’s a little knee knocker here okay in with authority so she is one shot back with nine holes left to complete her second round opportunities await in the back nine but are we going to see any more goal from them as the sunlight begins to fade here in Singapore anun juu cross

Country effort at 11 judge to Perfection for the South Korean coming off a bogey back at 10 so back to three undera is an sunju suu and do young park being outscored at the moment by this young lady ran Michaela malixi three under and bogey free on the

Day CH lacked a little conviction so settle for p to 11 still at 600 power running inside the top 10 as things stand what a weekend she has ahead of her there some of the aesthetic lights down the 9th and 18th hole start to come on obviously it’s it always looks a little

Brighter than it actually is when you’re watching golf on TV the iris the lens of the camera can increased in size to pick up as much light as possible but just looking out my window right now really isn’t much more in the day as far as daylight is concerned it’s getting a

Little bit dark and gloomy out there certainly will be the last hole of the day for Rong and Company all three players in this group under par for their second rounds and J on two under after back-to-back birdies at 8 and nine coiu at one and rosi also at one on

Theal as far as conditions go it’s pretty calm out there at the moment so it is normally a difficult hole this par for this par 510th simplified slightly softer Karma conditions this evening Made a good pass at the ball dead at rosui it’s just going to catch the wrong side of that slope and funnel on down to the front portion of this green just illustrates that point got to make sure you carry it past that that little step in the green that’s about 15 Paces

On particularly coming off a slight downhill live for Co guu should expect the first bounds to be pretty spicy even though these greens are rather soft so important to just carry that little rise could get this one close there’s that big first bounce read the LIE nicely and she’s giving herself a

Look surprised by this they’re playing on this is Ashley L back on the te the day that will not end for these ladies a three woodfall position sense of hitting the big stick unable to get home into in this 10th hole shinel looks like that’s a Hybrid

Club out and I think that’s the right play for her Freewood is longer than some players drivers this one may be leaking a fraction right yeah it’s okay K imagine this is her three-wood I’m being told that the tournament organizers are strongly considering a shotgun start once the cut is made and

We’ve uh We’ve redrawn for day three and honestly as contentious as that topic may be amongst the the fastidious golfers Among Us that’s not a bad alternative for golf tournaments in this part of the world where weather can be such a big factor be curious to see if they do pull

The proverbial trigger on that as H sets up over this here at 10 jumping across the breadth of the green up and over a little rise never quite had enough Steam on it to clear that UPS slope much like Bangin Sil it’s been a bit of a a yo-yo situation for

Hanin have that for a part p and kyung she’s going to have at least 10 holes to play when she comes back to the golf course tomorrow morning it’s her third into 28 already seen a hole out from here from Ashley La that’s a pretty good one in from pin

Kung see the lights on in the driving range in the distance there that is the national service Resort in Country Club saffra as it’s known in Singapore and their Sky range see a lot of them in South Korea but it is getting very dark out here at

Tanira I wouldn’t want to play this hole in the dark the 10th it’s Frau with danger gang Just Clips a couple of branches but that’s okay going be a bit of an awkward hanging live for her third shot though it’s going to be slow for Rose young we

Putting up that step and it’ll start to turn downhill and move from right to left seems to be some debate here by my guess it might be that they’re either deciding to call it a day that ball was oscillating or moving and just by the way that she’s replacing those

Te’s I think she’s decided that you know what I’ll sleep on this one I’ll have a think I’ll come back and hit this as my first shot tomorrow morning same too for bin Sil that looks like it’s going to be it for these ladies and sensibly so really

No point in trying to play this 10th hole in really fast deteriorating light conditions out here better off to just come back fresh bright and early in the morning play was restarted at 7:30 local time this morning for players that needed to come back 54 of them in fact

To complete their opening rounds and it looks like it’s going to be more of the same on Saturday morning for these lead IES of course they do have the option to complete the hole that they are on even if the hooa goes due to Darkness thank you Ashley Lao for relaying that information back it seems that there might be a storm approaching possibly it’s all very confusing out here whatever it is the news clearly hasn’t reached goiu who is set to play here up on the green don’t think it was

So much a dangerous situation might have just been lack of light as initially suspected regardless believe this might be the final shot played this extended Friday coverage of the Singapore Women’s Open coiu for a birdie at 10 swing from right to left and oh she has absolutely hammered that and I think

That was just a a little mental mistake from goiu really had no reason to try to complete this hole she’s got a decent look at birdie you don’t want to rush and feel like you want to get in because your two playing partners aren’t going to be

Putting out or you can stop now to you you want toop now you can choose you can choose because this not danger go you don’t have to stop play per se no electrical activity in the area it’s just due to to Darkness believe that was Jillian cook the Singapore amateur’s father honey

Cook volunteering this week conveying that message to the players well surprise surprise R is going to putt this one out perception and your speed patting tends to go first when you struggle to see again I’m I’m just flamu by that decision from these players up on the green a little bit

Slower got quite a bit of surface moisture on these greens at 10 to try to go and Pat out not easy same could be said for Park and kumate but at least it’s a relatively straightforward looking birdie but downhill left to right slider to get her to three under okay safely in

The good birdie there at eight for the time kg winner oh no you are kidding me is she going to play I mean honestly what is the point she’s not going to be able to finish this hole surely in the dark it’s probably one of the harder the more demanding holes

On this tanese layout and you’re going to try and play it in 40% visibility out there this is just bizarre for punin S I don’t think this is the right play at all okay oh dear and she’s found that fairy bunker is that going to be a a costly

Decision perhaps when all is said and done this week we go on here at tanira Country Club goiu Now The Comeback of AA ran that birdie putt well past the hall oh but she runs that one in nicely for bar but now it looks like a good

Decision start fresh on the 11th te tomorrow got away with one there so we love for this one to drop in I just want to creep a little right with dying breath so I should start this on the left Edge no again I think that’s just that’s just poor management there

Not cost management just management in general situation where a cad should have stepped in and said look we can come back tomorrow morning have another crack at it no sense in trying to finish the 10th hole today but you think that’s going to be pretty much it

For this Friday evening as we tick towards a quarter 7 local time here in Singapore The Fading light almost non-existent at this point as the flood lights come on around the clubhouse still Kim jhe leads by one Bangin still her closest pursuer in the Fairway bunker on the 10th Hall with

Eight and 1 half holes left to play in her second round e for for for well shinil she’s drawn a decent lie here packed at wet sand lip shouldn’t be a problem o sounded like she caught that heavy back left edge of the green and you could see there from that TV camera

At the back of the 10th screen even with the irises wide open you can barely see any light so while she Ponders her decisions there at 10 let’s take you back and relive some of the great shots and highlights of day two action why don’t start with the lady on top Kim J

He threw darts at the pin all day long turned in 34 starting on the back line reeled off a couple of birdies that was her last of six in her round unfortunately would drop a shot on her final hole the ninth still sign for a 68

Leaves her at 10 under par through two rounds hang y Min she had the hot hand on the golf course Friday in Singapore like J he started on the back nine PE off birdies at 13 14 16 17 18 1 2 and that almost in Ace at the sixth

How about this into the ninth hle it was a treacherous pin here on the front left corner of the green coughed up a lot of birdies could give up a lot of Bogies as well but j s and her final hole of the day played it to Perfection closing birdie there

Three on the spin to close a 67 for her to leave her at 8 under par M would drop a shot at seven but quickly got it back with a birdie there at the eight and I mean count those up that was her ninth birdie of her day with the ninth to

Come and what did she do she pick up a tenth in it went a low round of the week a 63 for hang yo Min brilliant bounce back after a 73 yesterday 10 shots the better for y min Choy and Woo is off in the afternoon is

Her third shot to the par 58 and like so many before her was just throwing darts at that defenseless right hole location got this one from par bom at the other par five on the front side the fifth that one would lead to a bird e park

Goiu lovely t- shot into the sixth and an even better but for a birdie 2 that took her up to 5 under bin Sil was one under par before the weather Stoppers dropped a shot at four and then got it back with that birdie at the fifth taking her into that share of

Second and eight under then I think we can safely say that this is shot of the day Malaysia Ashley Lao two over par for her round to this point after a double at six got both shots back with one Fell Swoop holding up for an eagle

Three back to even par for her day and two under four you can see the moon out already as bin still steps over this a fourth shot into the 10th she hit it hard enough it’s got to go it’s got to go oh still well she rolls that one in she’s

Going to feel like she did the right thing in completing this hole in near Darkness I mean look at that that’s a live picture of the ninth green right now flood lights are on and well hopefully Bangin still Pops that one in to stay one behind Kim jhe it’s been a

Bit of a marathon day here at the tanira Country Club it’s going to be a long Saturday as well but it’s Kim jhe who leads by one at this stage of the championship we thank you for your company this Friday afternoon do join us tomorrow for more exciting action from
